The sickness is spreading!! I found a guy with most of 69 bronco and basicly the tub of a 68. A buddy of mine wants the tub for her 73 thats mostly a rust bucket, but I might try to fix the other, its uncut, but VERY rough. The kicker is that theres no paperwork on them. Has anyone ever delt with getting a "lost" title from DMV?
The guy has a couple spare axles, they LOOK like dana60 front and some kinda big matching rear. Any idea what I need to know about these? Do they need to be out of somethig specific?

It is best, while you are building it, to look for a title and glove box on classic broncos or Ebay...about 200 bucks +-

I had a 65 rustang I bought with no title. I had the guy fill out some for that DMV had and sign it. I went to DMV to have them check the vin. If the vin was not put into there computer system 10 years ago they dont have record of the car. After I found out there was no record for the car I filled out paper work stating that the stang was bought from a guy with no title and that it was sitting in his backyard for the last ? years. Than I payed 50 bucks. To make the title official I had to bring the car down and demonstrate that the brakes worked and that it was in working condition, but I sold the car before I got to that point.

cal dmv is7 years before they fall off there records. all you need is a bill of sale with his name and address and a letter saying he has had the vehicle for how ever long and that he has lost the reg. they will want to verify the vin on the glove box. i had a local cop stop by and do mine. any officer can do it not just chp. or you can take it to a sub station or directly to dmv and they will do it. its not really that hard, and should only be around 50-60 bucks to do.

Then you can drive your newly registered Bronco to go Elephant hunting or maybe club some harp seals or sea otters or to the store to buy peanut oil to fry up a Bald Eagle.

How would you feel if I took my glove box door; put it on your Bronco and drove away? I know that's a simplistic example; but, I think it makes my point.

If you take away the market for glove box doors then people won't sell them.

I agree, I'd be less than happy if some rat bastard swapped my door to suddenly "own" my bronco! I know the vin's on the frame in a couple places and my door post sticker is still intact, so I'm ok there. I'm pretty sure both "new" rigs have'nt been registered in the last 10 years, they look like they havent moved in the last 10 years!

I prefer to stand in line at the DMV rather than standing in line to take a shower. Thats just me though.

My favorite is smoked baby seal.. that you club yourself! the meat is so tender.

I did the same thing with mine... all you need is a bill of sale and they do a visual inspection. all they did with mine was make sure he lights work and the turn signal. now they looked for the vin and couldnt find it until i told them it was on the glove box. other then that its easy to pass. Just need a bill of sale and a license.
