I have not decided how to register it, but that was not my question,
my question is what to do with a blank title.

At least in Missouri, and with a commercial dealer as the seller, the
title
is a worthless piece of fancy paper. What COUNTS is the documents
submitted
directly by the dealer to the DMV. They will issue a NEW title made
out
to you after you pay the property taxes on the vehicle and register it.
At least, this is what happens in MO when you buy a vehicle for cash.


Well, that's likely what would happen in IL, too, if it were actually a
dealer. This is/was a private sale/auction, though.

OK, I thought Iggy bought this at some kind of auction. As it is a
commercial vehicle, there may be some different rules to title transfer.
Anyway, the bill of sale is still likely to be more important. But, the
DMV may need some paperwork sent directly from the seller to confirm they
intend to transfer the title.

I will go there on Saturday with the title and the auction invoice to
be the "bill of sale". I will post an update.

I am already driving this truck around my building, just to learn its
operation. Just driving in 1st speed. I never drove a stick shift
vehicle before. It is very different.

Go to the Sec o' States office in Melrose Park. It's on Mannheim, just north
of North Ave.
They are the fastest, most organized and friendliest DMV office I've ever
been to.

Damn, I just checked. They are closed on Saturday.
Looks like you're stuck with Lombard.
They seem to be the only one out there with Sat hours. 7:30 - 12:00.

They are awesome, but they do not do titles.
