New to forum and just saw this. I know the response may be a mute point by now but you dont need a title for 3 axles if the weight is under 18,000lbs. I registered my deuce about a month ago without a title. Only needed a NH recognized bill of sale. Put antique plates on it. No difficulty encountered.
Be careful here, as it is the gross vehicle weight that must be under 18,000lbs, the curb weight (unloaded, no passengers) is only about 13,000lbs, that means if you register it under 18,000, technically you can never haul the full GVWR (gross vehicle weight Rating) which is roughly 23,000lbs. The law is worded in such a way, it states a title is required for a truck with three axles OR over 18,000lb GVW...
When I tried to first register my truck, we called the state DMV, and they said, if it had 3 axles, it needed a title, regardless of GVW.
Now I do know a few guys that are running around in a deuce with no titles, regular plates no issues, I even know a few guys with 5 tons that don't have CDLs, even though it's required for a truck with a GVW of over 26,000lbs, but notice right there it's the GVW, not GVWR.....
