Title doesn't really mean anything if you can't match it to a truck with a VIN plate with the proper rosette rivets. Got a picture of the VIN tag before it was lost? As Tim stated - DMV/state police will have to get involved. They will likely look for OTHER VIN identifiers (i.e. SPID, even though that isn't official, and, more importantly, the frame VIN - and the above mentioned picture of the plate would help, but most people don't photograph that...). Hopefully you have at least the matching frame partial VIN. Without any supporting evidence to make your case, it will become more difficult. But, ya gotta make that call to DMV/state police.
