What state is the truck in? It may be simpler to pay the current owner a bit extra to jump through the hoops to get a title to the truck.
If the people who have the truck now either had a title at one time or are related to someone who did they can probably file for a lost title with the state. Again, offer to pay bit to have that done. It isn't hard but does take a trip to the dmv or license office to do plus the fee.
If you have a friend down here who has a towing company or wrecking yard that you can trust you could have him run it though the yard, get the state to inspect it and then issue you a bill of sale that you can take and get a title and plates. At least that can be done in this state with a complete vehicle.
Again there would be expenses but the title would be legit when you were done.
