nice 66 project-but no title

[MyakkaJeff]

Hey guys, Thanks to those who answered my last question. I now know this is a 66 long stepside. It is mostly disassembled but is 98% rust free. I hate to pass this up. Found it sitting in a storage facility. The problem is the seller got the truck from his grandfather-in-law and never switched the title, (mississippi title), now here in Florida and missplaced but probably lost the original title. Seller says he will contact 85 year old grandfather to request lost title from miss dmv. Fl dmv says I have to get a title. What happens when titles are lost and the owner of title can't be found? I think I'm going to buy the truck anyway($600) and worry about paperwork later. The truck is disassembled but complete and no rust is almost unheard of down here. You're knowledge would be appreciated.
