If the vehicle had been previously registered in OK, then a title search could be performed and with a notarized bill of sale from the PO, a demand for title issuance could be filed. This actually holds true for many states, EXCEPT CA, unless I was registering in CA, which isn't plausible considering I've no residency, plus the registration fees that were in arrears on the vehicle, to begin with.
The other option is a bonded title, which only allows the vehicle to be registered but doesn't legally transfer title for a period of three years, meaning an arse load of time and money could be invested and, if contested within that three year period, it'd be a battle to retain legal rights to title.
There are options which I'm perusing, but they cost money and time that I feel should be reimbursed, if a clear title that was part of the sale isn't produced, which it hasn't been as of yet.
It's a crappy situation, but I've been patient and have given seller benefit of the doubt and ample time to produce, as well a free flowing line of communication that has been aboveboard, that has since ceased on his part, so feel I have little option.

Never can find this thread and just figured out I didn't author, so doesn't show in my topics.
Still no title.....yet.....
Went for a stroll around the facility with the boy today, his first real experience in a Pig.....or a standard for that matter, as the question was asked "What are you doing with that stick?"
She sure looks sad with the busted eye.....
Closer inspection revealed a bit of either hardened silicone, possibly JB Weld having had a firm grip on, at some point, so I don't feel quite as bad.
The entire affair has me thinking of 70 signals to potentially swap, but before I'm tied to the stake and burned for heresy, will mock up and get the blessings of the Sty.
Anyhow, not much tech to post, but more the philosophical/nostalgia/déjà vu occurrences of the day, an insight into the madness, possibly.
Delancy Jr. is ill having a sore throat to the degree he can't talk. Nothing major, but we scaled down the days aspirations to include a brief trip to the Pig Sty, for a little drive that I have been promising.
Warmed her up a bit, as it's the first fall day in OK, with rain having ceased a few hours before, mid fifties temperatures following after a week in the low nineties.
Crisp, clear, and refreshing.
We load up and begin circling the facility, which is a chore considering the lack of power steering and tight, short drives, during which the mime-ish query regarding the manual transmission occurs, to my amusement, considering it's the first stick shift the kid has ever ridden in and he can't talk.
Had been listening to Phish on the way there in the 80 and it was still playing through my iPhone, to which I I was unaware of until I looked over and saw him tapping his feet to the beat, mouthing, in unison with Trey, "Can't this wait till I'm old? Can I live while in young?" and it literally transported me back to 1983 when, at nearly the same age, I can recall as vividly and accurately as if it happened five minutes ago, where my love affair with Land Cruisers (and jam bands) began.
Not many fond memories of my childhood, as it was checkered with bits and pieces of what other buddies and their families exuded as normalcy.
That aside, can recall when a buddy's dad drove home in a brand new, 1983 40 Series, like it was yesterday.
Blue, top off, summer day, and the dumb question posed "Want to go for a ride?", so jumped in the back, chit eating grin, thinking it was the coolest "car" I'd ever seen in my life. Tunes were blaring, as much as they could've been, can't recall if an 8 track or cassette tape, but one of the many Dead albums of the day in buddy's dad's collection.
Recall distinctly hearing "the sky was yellow and the sun was blue..." riding in the back, wind blowing, driving down what were then two lane, country roads with stop signs that are now nine lanes of suburban sprawl.
Sun was right, tunes were right, bouncing on the jump seat and whatever I may have been in "contact" with (I was eight. It was a few later that I knew was up) set the stage of an experience that is emblazoned in my mind.
To this day, I still want an 83 40 with power steering and AC, and to this day, I can't hear the lines "i knew without asking, she was into the blues..." and not be transported back to that childhood memory.
Same buddy drove the same 40 through the early nineties and no matter how hard we tried , never could replicate that moment.
Hopefully, my son felt a similar state today, minus the stuff, in the Pig.
I have no distinct, fond, early childhood memories of any father figure, except my grandfather, and want to ensure that both of my kids won't be able to say the same.
I think my son gets it when I say the 80 and the Pigs will someday be his to ensure their continued existence and that it'll mean more than just cool old Cruisers.

I have never liked the looks of the 70 series lights on the front of a Pig...

the set I bought several years ago are back in the box they were sent to me in. they look more better there. Lemme know if you wanna try em; they're yours if you do...

Hmmm.....
Appreciate the offer, but sounds like its been tried and a fail.
I believe it was the Pig that had a Tiki JK interior with a chopped roof that had the signals/side vents removed, and don't recall being fond of the look.
Have seen the early grille signals being all that have been utilized, but I've said many time the fender placement signals is Pig-ish, so thinking I'd regret removal (plus get all kinds of grief.)
Hopefully the repros have crappy plastic bases that break easier.

I have given thought to using 1970ish VW bug front signal on the fenders...or some really cool old cast aluminum big rig markers...something with a sort of tear-drop shape that won't get snagged, but work like a slider...I know
outstanding in my own field...I know
I concur!!
When I was entertaining the idea of building the now dismembered 71 parts Pig into a wheeler, looked at removing the signals and rear marker/vents, an effort to minimize future destruction.
Since any vehicle I own remains streetable, street legal, thought about cutting the grille like the earlier for signals and doing away with the unnecessary, legally speaking, rear markers (going to on the 80. They beg to be destroyed, and don't know how I've managed to not oblige).
Before completely discounting, is removal of the fender signals a punishable offense?
One of the first things I knocked off my 40, were the turn signals. I replaced them with some old VW signals, I had plenty at the time and worked great. Looked like they belonged, but that was the 70's, you used what you had and didn't think too much about looks.
Attempting to pull tank and radiator to treat, in an effort to prepare for mechanical.
Cursory glance, and it appears we've endured some bypassing, before.
My question is, should the bypass remain, or should it be reworked as intended originally?
Only ask, because if it should remain, can't help but think there's means to clean up at the tank, eliminating this mess of crap.
Edited: it's hard to tell in pic, but more creativity with utilization of expansion foam and, of course, duct tape.
The line must've had a hole, be it part of a bypass or from age, and it was corrected with foam and duct tape.

Hell yeah!! I bet there is some chit held on with bailing wire too!! You can save the world with those two things alone!
since I'm running a split case
Tucker
Please explain what implications the split case has on this.
If need be, we can continue to the 76 thread, to keep this thread clean, and I'll delete this post, but very interested, since I'm about to box a ton of stuff to return to Onur.

There's no provision for an ebrake on a split case, so you've got some options:
- Non-US split case outputshaft/drum: Unobtanium
- BTB disk ebrake conversion: Crappy at best
- Late 40/60 drum integrated ebrake: What I'm doing
- Eldorado disk calipers w/ integrated ebrake: Mixed reviews
You can't put the integrated drums on a 55 axle, they have the early 6-bolt flange instead of the later 4-bolt. I sourced a crusty late 40 axle and rebuilt it, so now I have a surplus
The '79 was the only 55 to ever come with 3:73 gears stock, so it's pretty rare?Tucker

Gotta have one to run one of these
I see a parts search in your future, not that you aren't skilled in that area.

Chris,
This is what I have used, also. H55, split case tranfer and a FJ 60 rear axle with the E-brake on it. Then you can look for a split case PTO for the winch.
