84 vin question
hey guys i have a question about vin numbers

im looking to buy a 84 pickup and i wanted to run a carfax on it but the owner does not have a title and there are no vins on the truck ie:firewall,dash, or the doorjamb is the any where else i can look to get the vin

i just want to make sure its not stolen or anything like that
TIA

 

hmm thats odd .... i would keep looking

 

Sounds very suspicious... How do you even know he OWNS the thing?!

I wouldn't buy it if I were you. No title, no VIN, you'll never be able to register that thing.

 

basicly he bought it as a parts truck, i dont know thats what i want to find out

 

ok i called ca dmv i have to have the truck inspected and if it passes = not stolen then they issue me new vin numbers
here is the link

ok for the update its not stolen
i found the vin plate on the frame ran it on carfax and came up clean
it came up as a 85 deluxe
i called to dmv just to make sure it wasent stolen came out good. the truck was last reg in a town north of sacramento, that confermd the the guy bought it from, carfax said it failed smog and then the same day it passed, and while looking at the truck there where new parts on it like cap, rotor, plugs, air filter
and finaly the mileage added up.

so all i needed from the seller was a statement of facts stating where and when he bought it, and a bill of sale, then i need to take it to a chp office and have it inspected
so here are some pics

 

Couple of parts and it should be good to go

That is too Cool your Tow rig is an Ex-Ambulance

 

ya me and a buddy went halfs on the deal i got one he got one and we got a parts truck, and we have some more crap that we got off the freebees:bigclap:

 

its a 1ton 4x4, with a lift and mud tires

 

That is an awesome tow rig...Way cool with the lift and bigger mud tires. I might want to find one some day and do same thing and make a camper/tow rig. Is it a diesel? Was it origanally a 4x4 or did you do you convert it to a
4x4?

 

its a buddies of mines i used it to pick up my truck
but it has a 460 (gas) converted to 4x4, lockers fromt and rear and a bunch of other crap
