Re: Help me find my dad's old truck please!
Good Luck on finding your Dad's truck!
It's tough to do. Look in your Dad's old paperwork and insurance policies to find a VIN number.
Start hanging out at the DMV (courthouse) in your county. Bring in donuts every week. Make friends.
Then after some time, see if someone will do a search for the VIN on the truck. The only down side is that if it ended up in a salvage yard, they are not required to record the VIN of every vehicle they "process".
I have been looking for one I sold in 1999 to a local guy, but now he is in jail, and none of his relatives want anything to do with him or anything he owned, so I've hit a dead end.
I have a suspicion that my truck has ended up in a salvage yard or the bottom of a mountain in CO. When he bought it from me at age 18, his friends' comments were "Man I bet that can do some serious mudding!!!", so I'm guessing he tore it up.
I'll keep looking , as I built the truck when I was in HS and it was a very specific custom. I won't hijack your thread with it.
Good Luck!
