I went for the same hunt and ultimately, found my old truck!

I knew it was in the Seattle area but never could find it.....but I did have my VIN. I asked a fellow friend (state patrol) if he could look it up. Within a few minutes, I had a name and number. I called him up and he said it was just sold last month to a guy who chopped it all up.

I signed it off.

Months later, while scanning craigslist, I found it! Called the guy up and bought it sight unseen! Flew to Seattle and drove it back (250k on truck).

Keep looking, it could be a marathon!!

Here's my story:
