This truck has been parked on the family farm in South Dakota for 40-ish years. I've always liked the look of it and recently stated as such to my Dad. From what I can gather it's a '61 with BBV6 (305A). I plan to restore it.
Come to find out, this truck belonged to a mechanic of a neighboring tractor/farm equipment dealership but he moved out of the area long ago. I performed a title search with the VIN via the SD online title search platform and had no luck.
Anyone else have a method by which I can search for a title? To what lengths do I go to track down the original owner (assuming he can be found)?
Words of wisdom appreciated.
