find out who owns it and give him $$$ to get rid of it for him . then register it in your name with a junk title or give me his info and I will

I've asked around my town nobody seems to know whose it is.  I even tried to get the license # but the plates where gone so i looked for a vin # but both the one on the dash and the one in the engine compartment are gone.

they did that so they cant get tracked and busted for leaving the truck there.

If all the ##s are gone, haul out the whole thing, and if there are authorities (rangers) tell them you did it, and they will prolly let you keep it.  My uncle does that in CO everyonce in a while.  If you haul out the entire POS, they really dont care too much, if there is no way of finding the owner

[trevinotrek]

let me know where and i can be there in ABOUT 6 HOURS WITH TRAILER TO GET IT

First call the CHP and ask if the truck is stolen by reporting the licence plate. Then if its not reported as stolen (so you dont get in trouble), write down the VIN and go to the DMV and see who's it is. Maybe the owner really doesnt want if and you can score on a sweet project rig
