Never heard of a "quiet title" but that stinks that they pulled your vin tag because the frame has been swapped. I had to drive my clunker to the tag office because it was an out of state sale and a "title 42" maybe that is similar?? They just looked at the vin plate on the door jamb and the mileage on my gauge cluster which was not installed. I had to show them where the Vin plate was :lol:.. They dont bother with frame Vin just the cab/body Vin in Oklahoma. I hope you get this sorted out and get to enjoy the truck. I really wish all 50 states would get on the same page with title work on thses old trucks, and with all the silly business perhaps maybe a required Vin inspection prior to selling so this crap doesn't happen. Must be a green conspiracy to melt down our classics and turn them into Prius-es.

I would be pissed if they took the VIN tag.
I hope things work out for you.

I am at a loss as to why an inspection was required in the first place. Was the title from another state? Texas is not nearly as complicated.

I am currently running into the same problem.

When I bought my truck out of colorado, it had a clean title that matched the vin plate on the body.

Take it to the inspection station only to have them search around under it for 45 minutes before they find a frame VIN (luckily not stolen)

They gave up after that and told me about the quiet title stuff.... The whole thing is kinda BS and sketchy.

They are absolutely no help at the inspection station. One would think that if we had to go through all of this crap to jump through THEIR hoops, they would at least throw us a bone beyond "go find a lawyer, and pay a lot of money"

Is the truck for sale with a bill of sale? I have a restored 71 GMC swb step that I might be interested in taking your truck as partial trade. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/c...p?product=5529

I wish I could.
It would still need to be inspected and the Kansas State
Trooper removed the vin plate from the truck. Quiet Title is the only legal way for me to register it.

Just checked back in. Sorry to here that, AL is probably one of the easiest states there is to trade old vehicles. Best I remember, below 75 and sll you need is a bill of sale. Could be wrote on a scrap piece of paper an still be good. Hope it works out. I'm sure the VIN and truck are in the system now. If you don't title it will they let you sell it in another state?

Yes, I can sell the it. There is nothing that would stop me.
I am seriously considering all my options. I really like the truck but may have to let it go.

well i guess your inspector was being alittle bit more thorough with your inspection. i bought my 72 in oklahoma and had the sheriff's department do my inspection when i brought it home and they just checked the title to door jam and mileage. hopefully it all works out for you

Yep, any old scrap piece of paper stating buyer, seller and discription is all we need here in AL for vehicles 25 years or older. I guess we try to make things easy around here. There are not many tree hu@#%$ here. :lol:
