Re: Title Anyone?
Try and resgiter it, might not be a problem unless it came from out of state or it was reported stolen.
Alabama doesn't title anything older than 1975, pretty much all you need is a bill of sale signed by the seller, buyer and a witness. Sometimes the clerk will check the VIN on the vehicle sometimes not, think it depends on the weather. Might want to get a statement from seller saying the vehicle wasn't on the road since the last time it was registered so you won't have to pay back registration fees. I have always lived in title states before moving to Alabama and it was a little unnerving at first but I got used to it.

Re: Title Anyone?
Quote:
In NY there no titles for vehicles older than 1972 .They have transferable registrations. It is possible to register a non title vehicle without the last registration: If it hasn't been registered in over 10 years , it won't be in the system ' Trace VIN tag, receipt from person you bought it from, fill out proper forms including reason for no registration DMV will issue plates and a non-transferable registration, after paperwork checks out they send a tranferable reg. The registration i you're proof of ownership. Could you register it then turn the plates in ?

Re: Title Anyone?
Thanks Guys, some great info! looks like I should be able to get a title on it after following some of the advice above
I had the Sheriff's Office run the VIN right after I got the Truck and it is clean. at least I have an idea of some things to try. I can see how these things could easly turn into a nightmare though. espeacially dealing with some of the goverment agencies I will have to deal with.... Thanks Again for all the help and suggestions, hopefully I'll be able to throw up some pics and start a build thread soon |

Re: Title Anyone?
In Alabama the registration in your name is considered a 'Title' for ownership purposes, same in Georgia I think. I lived in Alabama and when I sold a 72 Camaro roller to a lady here in Florida they wanted the BOS and registration, I had to go to tag office with only a notarized BOS from PO, pay sales tax, and they gave me a registration slip with sales tax fee, no tags or fee. Each AL county is a lil different I think, Baldwin/Mobile will take a BOS with 2 witnesses.

Re: Title Anyone?
Just a statement of fact. There are lots of folks who switch out their rusted cabs to a solid one. Since the VIN plate is on the cab, it necessarily has to be removed from the old cab and placed on the donor cab to remain numbers matching (partial serial on frame to VIN tag partial serial). You are not registering the donor cab. Your truck is already registered or titled depending on the state. I can not understand the discussions that often take place on this subject.
