As Ron said check with the DMV and actually a visit may be in order. From personal experience with ADOT the knowledge level on specialty cases varies a lot from DMV to DMV, so having read the statutes is also a good idea.

Here’s the link, titling is covered in Chapter 7.

That being said, you could be in for an interesting time, depending on who you get at DMV. The truck originally the VIN located in 2 places, a tag located on the firewall under the steering column and a stamped number (matching the VIN tag), located on the outside of the driver side frame rail above and slightly forward of the front axel. As the TAG is easy to spot (and easy to remove as it’s only held on with 2 screws), I’m assuming it’s not there and it doesn’t sound like you have the frame.

With no VINs you might not have enough at this point to apply for either an abandoned vehicle or bonded vehicle title. ADOT will have to be the final determining authority.

Anyway, good luck.
