Alright, I just called the Ohio BMV and had them look up the title number found on the VIN lookup. It seems like that was the person who bought it off of my dad in 2011 for $2800. That title went from July 2011-May 2019. So the timeline now is just My dad->someone who restored it and either...

$1 for a 3 day free trial… you gotta remember to cancel the subscription quick or else it’s $50 a month!

I bought the report on the truck, the owner stuff isn’t really accurate but the mileage stuff is interesting. And the sale dates seem to match with it being in Van Wert in 2019. It seems like it was on the showroom floor of Fort Wayne Toyota from 2014-2019. I guess the timeline now is my dad in...

Looking at it again, that may be the same dealer I’ve already been calling lol. It’s awesome to see photos of it though. I’ll just follow up with them since they haven’t called me back yet. Thank you so much!

WOW! This is 100% the same truck! Looks like it’s been restored and still mistitled as a 79 lol. Thank you so much! So happy to see it’s more than likely still on the road. I don’t know how trustworthy these websites are, but it seems like if I pay they can give me some more info. I’m definitely...

Just checked, looks a lot more outdated and it seems like they want me to pay. Maybe another day

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before haha. I tried searching it on like carfax but it didn’t work since it’s a 10 character VIN, I guess I just assumed it wouldn’t work on here too. Here’s what I got from looking it up Unless I’m reading it incorrectly, the “status date” is 2019 and...

Thanks for this. I’m going to try calling the DMV soon, idk whether I should call the Ohio or Indiana DMV, I’ll probably just try both. I doubt they’d tell me the name of the owner or anything, but I feel like they should at least be able to tell me if it’s still registered in any given state...

I unfortunately don’t have the name of the owner, the only reason I know it was in Indiana in 2018 is because that’s when the dealership last had the truck in their system. I think it’s too early to call quits quite yet, I still need to follow up with the dealership and see if they’re able to...

That’s what I’m starting to think too. The problem is, it’s hard to find a PI for a reasonable price, and most of them deal with people and catching partners cheating and stuff like that. Also, I can only trace the truck to Indiana as late as 2018. It may have moved states by then and I don’t...

Hello, I figured I should make one more post on this, since I've actually found quite a bit of info since my last couple posts. I hope for this to be the last post I make until I find the truck. I will leave any updates further updates in the replies. I apologize for the length of it, writing...

I'm definitely considering that now that I've got more info on it. Do you have any recommendations for where to look for reputable ones? I can confirm it was in Indiana as late as 2018, but it may be in another state by now.

BIG UPDATE!: I found the VIN! It's: FJ40-290399, and I've only been able to find one mention of it and it was actually on this forum, in 2016, where it looks like a dealer in Fort Wayne, Indiana was trying to sell it

I originally posted this in another thread but got a recommendation to post it here as well. --------------- Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I couldn't find anywhere else. I apologize if there's a better place to post this. I made a post about this a little...
