No, but after a series of convoluted events, Guatemala "lost" territory to Mexico.

Before the independence war, New Spain included the U.S. Southwest, Mexico, as well as most of Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Costa Rica). After independence was won in 1821, and Mexico became a federal republic in 1823, most of the region split-off, to conform the so-called Central American Union. At the time, Guatemala's territory also included the provinces of Chiapas and Soconusco. Chiapas became an independent republic on its own, while Guatemala kept Soconusco. In 1824, the Chiapas Republic chose to become a state of the Mexican federation and in 1825, Mexico made its first formal claim to the Soconusco region, which was repeatedly rejected by Guatemala.

Soconusco had strategic and economic importance, but due to geography, it remained relatively isolated from the rest of Guatemala. Due to the civil war among the Central American Union provinces (1838-1840), political instability weakened Soconusco's allegiance to Guatemala, so General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna took advantage of the situation and annexed the province for Chiapas in 1842.

Guatemala held claim to Soconusco until 1882, when the border between Guatemala and Mexico was finally settled, and Guatemala renounced to its claim over both Chiapas and Soconusco.

Can you legally part out a truck and sell the parts without a special license in New Mexico?

You do not need a special license in New Mexico to junk or sell a truck. It is not legal in New Mexico to sell a salvage vehicle without a branded title. You need to notify the MVD if you are junking a car or truck. You can sell the car to a licensed dismantler or auto recycler who will part it out or scrap it.
