I live in NE (McCook) and bought a 51 GMC 350. There was no title and I was thinking about putting it on the road. The first thing I had to do was contact the county treasuer where the truck was tagged and attempt to find the owner, which in this case was deceased. The county does not keep records back all that far (10 years or so?) so if the registration/tag was older you might be ahead to go directly to the state of NE. IRRC it was going to cost me $100 to do a title search and replacement from the state, and I did not pursue this. I have been parting it out instead.
