In 2014 we bought this truck from a shop in Denver Colorado. We had it shipped to Las Vegas shortly thereafter. Due to space we stored for several months at a storage facility. When we had the room we moved it to our work location. Now the work starts.
First thing we will do is obtain a title, insurance and registration. Doing this will allow us to build a 1947 hot rod. If we do the build and then obtain the title, insurance and registration it will classified as the year we applied for the title, insurance and registration. Instead of a 1947 it will be a 2016 with all of the 2016 vehicle requirements.
So here we wait for the paperwork to be done. Since the government is involved we will wait longer than normal.
In the mean time we will get the truck running so it can be inspected by the DMV.
The good news out of all of this is that once we start tearing this down to actually start our build the engine and transmission and all of the running gear will be in working order – and for sale – everything will go except the frame and body and several other items but not much.
