Mark,
I don't know if WI has bonded titles but Iowa does. You take the VIN to a bond agent, a local insurance Co. give them 100 for a 1000 bond. they file the paper work with the DOT. A couple days later you pick up your paper work and the DOT will call you to set up a time to check the vehicle out. It doesn't need to run and nothing needs to work. All the DOt checks is that the VIN on the paper work matches the VIN on the truck. The DOT signs off and you take your paper to the DMV and get a title in your name. You can;t sell it for 3 years. IF someone shows up in that time with the title and tries to claim it. they get the 1000 and you keep the truck. I have gotten several bonded titles over the years. good luck. Dan.
