Well I'm pretty frustrated and baffled.
Remember how I got a hold of a past owner a few weeks ago. Last time I talked he said he was happy I had found the old truck and glad I saved it but was sad he had sold it 25 years ago. He would be glad to help out if he could.
I got a call from him this afternoon, his tone has changed. He said he had called the DMV, and gotten a duplicate title sent out to him. He said I sold it to a lady 25 years ago but I guess she never finished the paper work so he legally still own the truck. The conversation was weird and basically he wants the truck back now even though he admits to selling it.

I guess "no good deed goes unpunished"

I've been really excited about this project and the boys and I are having a great time. I just ordered a lot of new parts for it as well. I get wanting an old truck back that you let go, I guess I just would have thought the correct way to go about it would have been to say "Great news, I got a title for you, how do you want be to get it to you" and then talk about, "if you ever want to let the truck go, I'd really like to buy it back."
