I bought a 74 Power wagon W200 from a body shop I do electrical work for. It looks like a new truck, it has a crate 360, a rebuilt automatic, a rebuilt np205 transfer case, Converted to disk brakes on the front. A sweet plow truck. I have been telling them for 3 years when they sell it tell me. Well, now the problem, They never registered it and they lost the paper work. They know people at the DMV and asked them about the procedures for a vehicle with no title. The DMV told the body shop, You need a bill of sale from the last registered owner, when they check the numbers the names have to match. So now the body shop has to bring the truck to an impound yard and wait 30 to 60 days for the dmv to investigate the truck. if it turns up not stolen then they will put a new vin number on it. Seems dumb to me to put new numbers on it. The DMV told them they won't do a title search and give that info to the body shop, someone might forge new paperwork. So what do I do with the several Power wagons I have with no titles?
