getting a title (Page 1/1)
bkcamaro FEB 11, 03:42 AM
I might be getting my hands on two 1941 Chevy G506 1 ½ military trucks. One has a title and the other doesn’t have one. My question is how hard is it to get one for something like that. I live in WI so if anyone done this before let me know on what you did and cost wise to. My idea is the one with the title being most complete is possible restore and the other I would take the drive train out of my 78 step side and throw it in the G506. Which is what I wanted to do anyways, my original plan was to just find the cab and front clip and throw it on my 78 frame but if I can get the whole truck I would use the 1 ½ ton frame instead. This is one of my DREAM BUILDS for I always loved WWII era trucks, planes, ships, tanks exc. My grandfather owns two G506s and I just like the looks of them, my opinion is there one of the best looking trucks of all time but that’s my opinion.

You will likely have to apply for what is called a "bonded" title. A bonded title is what is issued when there is no prior ownership of a vehicle.

It can be a hassle to go through, and there is one serious issue with having it. You'll likely need to actually go to your local DMV (ugghhh.... ) and ask the procedure for applying for the bonded title, since it can vary from state to state. The major issue with having it is that if the real original title somehow appears - like if the owner that is selling you the vehicle finds it - that person can immediately claim ownership to the car since it is the legit title.

If it was originally a US Army vehicle, there will be a record of the original sale from the government to a private citizen (assuming that actually happened). That should lead to other owners. It might take a few minutes or a few weeks to track down the previous owner(s) but at least you wouldn't have to worry about any one else laying claim to the truck later. There probably isn't an actual title, just a bill of sale but if you have the chain of ownership, it should be relatively easy to get a real title.

Yeah I see now that I should have read that particular tid-bit in the first sentence that this is a military vehicle.

I'm guessing pretty much everything I said would not apply.

it dont matter anymore. i was 1 hour into my 1 1/2 trip to buy them when the guy called me saying he just sold both after he said he would hold it for me. We agreed on $2800 and i guess this guy gave him $3000 so no G506s for me back to looking i guess. been looking for one for years and years and only ever found one other and the guy wanted $4500 for junk and here i thought i found the brake i was looking for sorry still kinda pissed about it.
