89S: My friend sent me this:

The PA Notary, has a form for that. I think it's expensive though, and takes some time to get a new title for the vehicle. We didn't want to bother with the lengthy costly process so found a different car. But to answer your question, yes it can be done.

I could never figure this out, RCS rental water trucks always had the "oklahoma OK!" plates. No matter what state they were rented in, the slogan confused the hell out of me too, what does it mean?

Do you know why many companies register their equipment here??? Cheap registration and road taxes. OK does not even require trailers to be registered at all, so you will lots of big rig trailers with OK Non Expiring Plates on them. Also why many trucking companies have a presence here, so they can register their equipment here.

And I'll agree, Oklahoma is OK. Its not Good, not bad, but its OK.

I clicked on it too, your not retarded its just a little confusing. I would go pick it up regardless of the title problem. If it was stolen and someone wanted it back then it would not be publicly listed on craigslist.

Its very illegal but switching vin tags is an option. I was trying to get the title for my truck from my aunt and she lost it, a buddy of mine who was letting me use his shop offered 2 cleared vin plates with titles, all we had to do is rivet it onto the dash. There is vin numbers stamped on the chassis also but I know for a fact they dont check in New Mexico or Arizona.

Swapping VIN's is an illegal option. Does it happen? Sure it does. The VIN # on these squarebodies is stamped in the frame. Its location is on top of the passenger side frame rail about directly under where the passenger would be sitting in the truck. So its not very easy to get to. OK does not inspect it either. Most states will only inspect the VIN plate in the windshiled for the reason being, door stickers can be wrong if the dirver door has been replaced with a differant truck. The cab would have to be removed to see the VIN # stamped into the frame. But here is the catch or reattaching VIN plates. You don't just use standard rivets. Rivets can change from year to year on differant models, so you better make sure you have the correct rivets. Most of the squrebody rivets I have seen and like a star shape, and you won't be able to buy those rivets. So if you feel the need to do such a thing, I think I'd carefully remove the plate and use the same rivets, which means you actually won't rivet it back on. You might have to make the holes a little larger then use some form of glue to make it permanent and hope someone does't go playing with the plate. Then again, over time, some of those rivets become loose anyway from road vibration. Kind of a bummer its illegal but it also helps cut down on auto theft, so its for our own good really. Again, I don't suggest it, but what I don't know, won't hurt me or whoever.

I found a box of the rosette rivets under the seat of a truck at a junkyard once. The had probably been there since the factory.

They are still available at certain places.
