All I can say is I had a lot of trouble back in 2001 when I tried to get title to my M1028 that I got from Boyce Equipment. Boyce gave me the SF97, which I took to the main Secretary of State office in Springfield. Because there was no place for me to sign the SF97, they could not handle it. They told me to get something I could sign. I had to send the SF97 back to Boyce. They got a Utah title for me. It took that and a vist from an SoS police officer to verify the vehicle existed, the mileage, and the VIN. I wound up with a title that said I had a D30 mail truck. I was in limbo for a while, being in posession of an untitled vehicle, with no title work in progress. I hope things are easier now.
