You might be in for a long day or you might have a very easy day. The inspection done by the highway patrol (or their agent) will consist of a VIN check. They will issue you a paper that states what the VIN number was or if it appears the VIN has been tampered with. If its been tampered your screwed, you have a parts truck that you can't even sell to a salvage yard.
You take that paper to the county treasurer and apply for a title. They will run a VIN check to see if its ever been registered in Kansas. If its never been registered in Kansas they will issue you a title along with a tag and you're on your way - very easy. If the vehicle has been registered in Kansas the ONLY person that can apply for lost title is the last registered owner or their estate. If that person is dead or can not be located you own a parts truck that you can't sell to a salvage yard.
I don't know how it works for "newer" vehicles but that's how it works for vehicles that qualify for antique tag in Kansas.
If its ever been registered in Kansas (or registered as far back as their computerized records go) you're screwed. Our court house has done quick VIN checks over the phone for me in the past. They will only tell me if its been registered, they don't say by whom or when - that information is confidential. I've gotten titles for a Mustang and a Scout that way.
People that tell you "Its easy if you have a bill of sale" don't know what the **** they are talking about. Most likely they've tried to get a title and found out they couldn't and are now selling their problem to someone else.
