Thanks

There should be a way to get it titled. Good luck.

If you have a parts truck in the same era that hasn't been registered for like 30 or 40 years I would just take the serial number off that truck. The registration people don't keep records dating back that far. So when you go and register the truck the serial number that you put on the truck now belongs to it according to the registration people.

welcome to the bolt. I have used the wrecking yard outside of your town there, and they were pretty decent!
In Ontario they don't generally keep records after about five years of inactivity. Go to an MOT License office and ask them what you will need. You will probably need as sworn statement at some point. I used my lawyer for that. Eventually you will need to state an amount that you paid for the truck and they will charge you GST.
Can't wait to see some photos!
Fred
