The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Old Dominion Stovebolt Society (MD, VA, West VA, DC, DE and PA) has anyone got a title for a truck that does not have one in Va

my aunt has given me 2 1947-1954 chevy trucks that have been on her farm as long as I can remember so I know they don't have titles has anyone gone through the process of getting a title. one is a big truck and one is a 3100 im thinking about taking the 2 and making 1 I figured I could just use them for parts for my suburban if I cant get a title

Does either truck have a VIN tag?

yes they both have the vin tag

Sir, I recently MD titled an out of state '52 'Burb by having the out dated registration and VIN tag. It went thru even though I had no bill of sale and a 3rd party sold me the vehicle. If you are titling in state it should not be a big deal to photograph the VIN tag, provide a bill of sale, and even take the previous owner with you to the titling authorities. Don't do anything with the vehicle until you have it in your name. Why? Plenty of horror stories exists where time, money, and effort spent foolishly and when change ownership and unable to to so for complicated reasons. Good luck. V/R, Nick Cavallaro, Bel Air, MD

If your Aunt is the legal owner (or her husband was) she can request a lost title from the state for a nominal fee. I'd try that first...

If the owner is not known, some states will tell you who the last known owner was based in the vin number. If you go this route, have the engine serial number with you as well (that may be the number that was put on the old title).
