I had not thought about the no-title idea. Nice, but I think Illinois is too "hardnosed." The idea is that the state does not want to risk being sued by a legitimate owner coming forward in the future. I do not think this ideology applies to my truck. As a laymen, like myself, the truck should have stayed in a junk yard or field forever, or as the wife said, why did I buy a "rotten" truck? I am now happy it turned out fairly decent. So with all that, who in North Dakota (based on a 1974 plate that came with the truck), 50 years later is going to claim a "rotten" truck as theirs (unless they want a yard ornament).
I see from here, some people live in "easy" States.
