Did you try going back the KS to get a title? If you are talking about buying a title and pulling a serial number plate on your truck..my advice would be to take the hard way and get your truck titled. It might take a lot of work, but you know what you have, you have the supporting paperwork. The bond would only be for your purchase amount. If you take photos of your starting point to the DMV, they should confirm this. If you have a bill of sale and the title, it should be much easier than those who have nothing to start with.
