Salvaged truck

You make NO sense on what your explaining............reread what you just posted

 

Excuse me, but what in the heck did you hit to cause that much damage??? Was it a Volkswagon??

 

I think you have to go to the DMV about this. They put a code on the title that it's a rebuilt wreck; so the next owner, after you, is aware of it. A salvage yard can probably give you details as to what documentation you need.

 

I'd guess the insurance company totaled it and he bought it back from them .

 

every state has different rules. Some states it is as simple as taking your receipts to the local police and they give you a new serial number. I also know that Insurance companies are more reluctant to insure 4 wheelers that have been repaired so I would bet that they are alot more concerned about big trucks.
Here is the problem with salvage. Buddy does the same damage as you on a new Pete and they spend 20000$ and fix it. Away he goes- good as new. Now you do it to a $30,000 truck and they write it off as they are not going to spend over half the book value on repairs . Both trucks can be repaired properly but one has a salvage title.
Lots of dum bass people with knee jerk reactions when they hear "salvage".

 

Take shop receipts and safety inspection to dmv. They may 'mark' your ownership so that if you were to try to sell the truck the buyer would know about the rebuild. Keep all bills from the fix incase you want to sell the truck you can show what work was done to get her rollin again

 

Never done one myself, but the DOR has this FAQ.

At the very least, work has to be done by a licensed rebuilder, then inspected at a state approved inspection station. Looks like it's time consuming and a lot of fees to get the "rebuilt" brand on the title.

Good luck.

 

I ran over a yellow Volkswagon in west Texas on I-10 someone on the cb said come on over big truck and I did there is 24 Mexicans in that volkswagon blood and guys everywhere. Now when someone says come on over on the cb I ignore them!

 

Ever think maybe they were talking to one of the other thousands of big trucks out there ? You should have waited until he flashed his high beams .
