Also in CA. Do it yourself. It took me a bit, but I have a new VIN and new '57 Title for my 3200. Jan 2006, wife & son deposit truck on my driveway. No vin, no paper, no nothin. Found chassis ID. Talked to DMV & CHP. DMV had me fill out some forms & gave me 3-part form for CHP. CHP had me put in a non-working engine & tranny (Chevy big block & TH400). Has to look like it will run some day. After trailer trip to CHP office, gave me the VIN tag & completed forms. Another trip to DMV w/ CHP forms, weigh slip, and $10 & '57 title comes in the mail. Wrote thank you/appreciation note to DMV for being so helpful.
Best of luck w/ yours. Contact me via email if you want more than the above.
