I discovered that the VIN got typed out wrong at some point on the title. TCLxxxx had been typed as TC1xxxx. I went to the licensing office to figure out how to get it fixed. Not really that big a deal, go to a dealer, have them verify it in writing and bring that back. Got that sorted out, and in the process took the truck back to the dealership where it was sold when it was new. The service manager has an ‘80 he’s in the midst of doing an LS swap in - I think that’s why he took sympathy on me and got me the info I needed for the VIN.
