New member, and new to me 1996 M35A3

[TheRagnarok]

Traded a 1995 Ford F350 CC with blowby, and a bent bed for this M35A3.
It runs great but the transmission needs a rebuild (no 4th or reverse).
Canvas topper is transparent and the steering wheel is bare metal. Has some rust on the window frames and firewall.
Unfortunately, I do not have a title for this beast and I am on the fence about throwing any money at it.

Welcome to the site !!! Lots of info available . IMO , I would not do anything with your MV until you get the paperwork/ownership worked out . You would hate to put time and effort into the unit and then not get transfer documents .

Nice trade! I found some info on titling in FL:

VIN verification and the titling saga...

This is what I needed so far to get a bonded Texas title. FIRST step, when going to the regional DMV office you will need the following. A bottle of Pepto-Bismol, a few packets of Plop Plop Fiz Fiz and possibly a chill pill or two.. A check for $15 payable to the TXDMV VTR-130-SOF, Bonded...

Welcome from N.E. Ohio. That truck has serious potential. I would do the research to get it roadable... Just my 2 cents.

Yep start with title, also closely check all fluids and such for signs of being a flood vehicle.

Thanks for all the info and tips. Now I might try to get it titled.
