Re: A Sad Story About a 1971 Chevy Cheyenne
Missouri is the "Show Me" state. Sounds like someone said "show me the chassis VIN".
Makes a good case for doing everything you can to verify what you intend to buy.
BTW, I looked at a complete '72 LWB, that is supposed to run. It needs work, but it is available. PM me and I can give you some more info. But, here's a pic and it's not impossible to think you can pick it up for less than $500. Yeah, it needs a battery. Oh, I don't have a dog in this truck fight. I just wanted to see it after I saw the ad in the paper. What I don't know whether or not it has a clear title. Hmmm.....could be a repeat of what you just went through.
Yep, this is how this stuff continues to happen....and, I have a '68 cab for my truck that only came with a Bill of Sale, and the statement from the seller that he can't find the title after a tornado came through and damaged his house. Nope, the title was in the name of the previous owner/seller.
