Title for vehicle

[RamRoddoc]

This is for my high school buddy who is a mechanic in another state.

He had a buddy-LEO run the VIN it's clean as expected given the history.

So it appears a title is not really an issue for the age of the vehicle. It's a BOS, possibly a form signed by LEO declaring it not reported as stolen and then attempt to register it to get a plate and drive it on public roads.

He purchased the truck through the garage he worked at. He has a BOS from them to him. It has been over a year he has retained the BOS. It has not been reported stolen nor has any heir attempted to obtain or demand it.


This is reading the ODT replies.

It gives hope. It's his son's truck and he just got his license finally.

78 sierra will last longer than any 60K 2016 truck

Don't need a title on one that old
You do need a bill of sale and the name on BOS does have to match what the DMV has listed as the most recent owner

I'm sure there is a way for the shop to get legal ownership of the abandoned vehicle thru a mechanics Lien

bos name doesnt have to match the owner name of record, but if it does you can skip having the police run the t22b form if they show a drivers license that matches that name.
Otherwise have the police run the t22b before you hand over the cash.

that 78 sierra has been on the road for over 37 years
thats a good deal longer than what the average new
vehicle is expected to last(somewhere around 15-
20 years if i remember correctly)

one problem with those new expensive trucks is they
are so dang expensive to keep up
and when they cost more to fix than they are worth...

Good to know. Ive had an old ford that Ive never tagged since purchasing with no title. I do have a BOS though. Thank God lol.

My understanding is that they will hit you for back taxes when you do get it registered. (Which might not be much)

I don't get it
So 1978 has been around 37 years ?


1978 Chevy will never out last nor out drive anything today

So out daTed technology

With proper upkeep the newer will out perform all day and outlast


I have a 2001 Yukon

Original brake pads 264k miles I bought new still have meat

Nothing 1978 can say same

I am also on original transmission and motor 5.3

Your post is a opinion no facts to back statement

I will agree that they was easier to fix and somewhat cheaper

so with 300K mi now your running driving pukon is worth about as much as a
swb 78 rust free sierra that isnt running that has been sitting in
some old farmers field for 10 years.

clearly have no idea about these Yukons and no its worth way more then a pos 78

Don't forget let that truck warm up 35 mins before driving out on street or you might stall out
