I don't know about the hemmings information, but in the past I've used International Title Service out of Las Vegas. It costs $150 and takes about a month to get the paperwork back. Essentially what happens is you 'sell' them the car or truck, and they take the information to Alabama and register it. Vehicles in Alabama manufactured prior to 1984 require no title. What you get back is a legit current registration certificate from that state and a bill of sale back to you.
All you need to do is apply for a change of ownsership at your DMV and a new title. That's been my experience.
