Q: I'm sorry to be so specific but is there a stamped VIN number that matches the Title as my State requires the VIN on the truck to match that of the Title. My understanding is that VINs were only stamped on the chassis or cab beginning in 1981. Just trying to determine if it will require going to a Judge to have the Title approved.
A: CE-7106
Q: Is there a title to vehicle and has a VIN been assigned to the truck or is the build number from American LaFrance on the title?
A: There is a title and a VIN #
Q: Would you still sell it to me?
A: If you are the highest bidder and meet the reserve and are able to pay for it with certified funds.
Q: Does the tank to pump function properly?
A: Yes it functions properly.
Q: Does the truck have power steering? Does the truck need anything? Can I get in it and drive it out of there? Thanks
A: This engine has power steering. Needs nothing. It is road worthy.
