Default Re: Has anyone been through correcting their title?

also, my research has shown that thousands of late-1941 heavy-duty pickups sat unsold through the entire war, and Ford’s internal accounting system in 1941–1942 used a temporary “799-” prefix for all unsold heavy-duty trucks (¾-ton and larger) that were being held for wartime release. The “Y” suffix meant 1-ton/¾-ton heavy chassis. When the dealer finally sold the truck in 1946–47, the invoice still carried this wartime accounting code. Hence my CO title has a VIN that starts with 799Y and when Ford released this truck for sale, it was titled in 1947. But I digress. Just looking for the process folks have used, if anyone has...
