# about an assembled title

[Dieselguy123]

Hey all, My truck is nearing the completion (Sorry I havent posted any pics) but anyway the truck is going to need an assembled title and I need to have the serial #'s from the frame and engine and trans, I have found the #'s on the engine and trans but does anyone know where to look on the frame? I need to show proof of ownership for all these but I have to have the #'s also, thanks in advance-Brad-

Brad,
What year is the frame and what title info do you have besides drivetrain info?
Cab or chassis paperwork?
I don't have any connections to any of the Grand Traverse State police post.
I may be able to give my local connections a call if you have an idea what year on the frame.
Heck I used em once down here for the 5'er I bought and they came out for fun to check it for me, not sure if'n it was a favor or they needed to get out of the office. The guys told me it was field training.
My tax dollars being recovered.

On edit, I found that it's a 89 frame.

Bad news is, I spoke to the Lt with the local unit here and he stated that you'll have to get in contact with your local salvage inspector.

frame is an 89' but the body went to the scrapyard a few years ago, along with the title , The scrapyard would not accept it without a title, -thanks-Brad-

Don't happen to have an old insurance certificate floating around?
I also just spoke to one of the department detectives and he's digging up the vin loaction books.

Unfortunatly no, I looked and also contacted my insurance co. and they said they dont keep records very far back,-Brad-

Can't ya just get a salvage title on the cab VIN?

Can't ya just get a salvage title on the cab VIN?

NOPE! Michigan requires frame vin also and they won't just tell ya where it's located at either.
Prohibits the chop shoppers an easy ways out.
I can't even recall seeing the vin stamping either when I got the frame back from the sand blasting shop.

If you were the previous owner of the whole truck the frame shouldnt be an issue, but we are talking about DMV, I think all states have training to make things difficult for us.

 

[Dieselguy123]

well the problem is the truck cab is still in use on another f250 frame(I think), and I dont have the title, The other truck does.-Brad-

 

[Dieselguy123]

Forgot, When I said it went to the scrapyard I was thinking of a differant truck, The cab I sold(which is off the frame I have now went on another f250 but 4wd....the body that went to the scrapyard was off the truck that the cab I sold went on, so the truck is still out there just with a 4wd chassis.-Brad-

That'll make things interesting.

Gee how many truck do You have there? You lost Me on the cab and frame trucks then the engine....

You know what, I think they Must give You the title just for the fact You go through so many trucks to end up with the only one You have now.


I sure hope You get it, there is always a way.

 

[h2odrx]

let me get this right you built a truck from parts of other trucks? do you have the title for the cab that has the vin# if so why tell them
any thing about a rebuild? kind of like Obeone "You don't need to see his papers"......

 

[Dieselguy123]

yeah, and it may be a frame swap, Oh by the way I only have two trucks now my 95' F150 and my IDI -Brad-
