What’s the story on the title?

Does not sound sketchy at all does it? Would not be surprised to see the same ad listed in several places under different email addresses!

Sounds like a heel of a deal. Add another drive axle {tridem-didn't like-um}, 4 drop axles, 20lb steer,
1" thick frame rails, 8" side pipes, 750 hp, attachments for tag trailer and fifthwheel, and a 30' dump
box. Should be good for a major contractor right down to a land scaping business. Add a crane to the
front bumper and load your excavators, skid steers and toro dingos right in the box. Mount all the service
truck goodies like tool boxes, welders and torches on top of the cab guard. A all in one for $15,000.

Whenever some narcissistic ad orders me around, it’s fun to do the opposite.

Or maybe he WANTS me to ask about the title. Reverse psychology.

Easy Peasy, get a s/n, call MSHP and request if Stolen, if not turn in for NOT registering the vehicle then trying to sell it to avoid the fine!!! Illegal in MO to sell a machine without Title if still registered in another's name. Scrappers avoid taking ANY complete licensable machines if no title in hand and squirm over bodies without ID numbers on them unless have a shredder.

Why would anyone try to sell it without a title . I cant imagine maybe something happen and he is sick of the truck and he dosent want it on the road agin.I learned my lesson i bought a car for the engine from a dealer he was getting the title in his name i told him to trash it nothing special some guys wanted to by it i told him there was no title. He later resold it and it changed hands and every time i would get a call asking about the title.

The KTA would pull but at a cost-weighed too much front axle with full tanks 11,200 lbs. And fuel
mileage was nothing to brag about. Plus the wide Powerliner radiator opening had a tendency to
crack out worse than standard cab.

Can you still get parts for a KTA? I assume if you can, they will be very expensive. The old Steiger Tigers and Versatiles with the KTA engines still bring pretty good money that I have seen.

The KTA is now the QSK. A friend has a couple in a boat and they
look almost identical to the original KTA engines.

It is in many ways the same but still only configured for off road industrial use. Parts are expensive as all
get out-Cam followers were $2,500 to 3,000 each. A total rebuild runs roughly $50,000 and up.
