I just read the ncdot requirements/instructions for bonded titles...
It has some shortcuts that are smoother than the Texas procedure... but the requirment that the vehicle be operating condition before bonding is a real corker...
Was your truck in running condition, or do they make exceptions to that rule?
Thanks for the info, phillip. I'll call or email the ncdot dmv tomorrow and see if they will tell me what value for a 53 they have "listed in the Value Schedule", and if they can fax or email me a copy of that.
