Gluk, Sell the red one, save your money, keep your eyes open, and a good classic truck will find you.

Would it be possible to keep the one with the good paperwork and the parts you'd need from the better one?

   Well, the point- i have no place to keep both of them, and not enough money to buy the second, if i`ll not sell the first. Also- no normal place to make all "moving" work betwen them...  I guess, i`ll sell the red one anyway, cos` i have nothing to do with it right now, of corse not to the scrap, but... The only problem- to buy the blue/yellow "dead body", or not? By da way- it`s working- the Cummins is runing and sounds ok (at least to me), the hidraulic systems also ok, again- the truck somehow was WORKING untill a few month before, even if it looks horror... Almost one and only it`s problem- it`s a RUST. All, but really- all cab is rusty and need to be replaced, nothing to fix- REPLACE. And i`m hard to believe, that i could find the good cab parts for this model- it was scrapped along time ago...

  and also the ex-owners (two partners) are very hard to catch together to change the "ownership" on it! 

 

They do not have to be together to do it do they? They should be able to sign off one at a time.

If you were to get a different truck, you should be able to find a better one than the 82 - unless you only want that model truck.

I don't know how carefully your government officials will go over the paperwork and inspect the truck, but I would keep the good truck and transfer serial number tags and paper work from the bad truck. (this will be much less work for you) You will have to restamp the frame with the serial number that matches your good paperwork. Keep both sets of paperwork to prove that you own and have transferred any parts that might have an incorrect number on them. Scrap out and/or sell off parts from the bad one that now has no paperwork

  Hello everyone! I have a "li`l" dilemma: as you probably know, one of my trucks- it`s a 80` Ford9000. For a last time- this model is extreamly rare here, a most of them just scrapped along time ago, or sold to the other countries. In fact- i thought, that only about 3-4 left here... One of them- myne. But: my truck have a serios "paper problems": it`s not "on the road" about 10 years, so it`s very hard to registrate it again, and also the ex-owners (two partners) are very hard to catch together to change the "ownership" on it!  But- it`s in very good (for it`s age, of corse) condition.

 Last time, i found other one, 82`, all it`s life it vas driven by only one driver, now i guess he`s about 60+! He finoshed to work with it about a few month before, so there is no "paper problems" suppose to be with... The price, by da way, almost same as my one. Ok, but..... It`s in a very very very very BAD condition! I`m actually don`t even understand, how he could drive it "as-is" at all! Look at the one of the pictures- and it`s nothing!

  The sad point is, that i cant keep two those trucks together- no place, and no money. So, the question: to keep the nice one with the paper problem, or to try to sell it, and bay other one, "legally", but in awfull condition?
