Regardless, it is very possible that the title would bear a later date. For example, I'm the first owner on my '69. I bought and titled it in California in 1969. I moved to Wisconsin in 1971. It was then titled there. In 1989, I decided to get collector plates which required retitling it. So, the current Wisconsin title is dated 01/31/89. (Like an idiot I didn't make copies of the first titles.)

The truck in question "sat in a barn in Wisconsin for 40 years and was hardly driven" according to the ad. It is now for sale in South Dakota by a dealer. In my experience, dealers are not normally issued titles. They just hold onto the previous owner's title signed over to them until the vehicle is sold to the next owner.

I guess I should have looked at all the pics before commenting. I agree quite possible a left over 72 sold in on Feb 16th,1973 to the man with name on the title and considering the protecto plate has the same name as on the title probably a one owner truck before the dealer got it or maybe someone bought it from the original owner and sold or consigned it to the dealer.
