    Louisiana - State Flagging Existing Titles, and Registering New Vehicles as Off-Road

    Supermike . Do you have a actual title on this truck already ? Years ago in old trucks like that I would do the process of getting a title using the state’s antique title process when you don’t have a title . But they won’t let that anymore with ex military vehicles .
