    Yes sir they have been very helpful so far.

      Looking at the before pic I could easily see that being a home built trailer.

        What are some things that people would look at in it being a homemade trailer?

          I was thinking the same thing. Made with round pipe. Did you show them the picture before you fixed it up. Say you built it with scrap metal and show them the first rusty pic. You just made it to purty.

            FWIW there wasn't a standard number of numbers in a vin till like 1981 or so.

            So the 9 digits are just that. I have a 78 boat trailer I converted to a kayak trailer that's only 9.

              Do you own another trailer? Do like we do in east Texas that own multiple trailers....one plate fits all....

                My buddy has had countless trailers stolen from his business without plates. It must be possible to get this done as idiot thieves seem to make a living doing it

                  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is, just saying it could be. First thing that caught my eye was that the front pipe cross rail looks to be open ended. Hard to tell from the pic tho so I could be wrong. Most manufactured trailers are capped on the ends if not mitered. Look at the cuts at the ends of the supports and all the welds too. Do they all look uniform? Tell em your dad built it 35 years ago and only used it on the farm and never on the street so never was registered. Show em the before pic as proof. I'm no expert tho so take it for what it's worth.
                  I did sleep in Holiday Inn express once tho!
                  Good luck!
                  I've got the same issue with a canoe I want to put a motor on but no title or bill of sale. They will run the VIN and tell me if ever registered, just not to who if it ever was. I haven't gotten that far yet tho.

                    Put farm tags on it. Few years later apply for title.

                        That’s what I’m trying to do. Just really need plates as it’s under 4,000 lbs.

                            I pull a trailer once a month. Hasn’t had plates in 18yrs. No problems. This is a prime example of when it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.

                                That is how I got around all of it when my F-I-L passed away and I got his trailer.

                                Now you have to have the exemption for farm plates. I renewed some trailers the other day and they asked to see my exemption card.
