So with all the confusion it’s all going to depend on the inspection station. Whether or not he wants to put an inspection sticker on your truck or not. This will be interesting. I’ll be paying attention to the city of Virginia Beach’s FMTV. I’ll see if it gets an inspection sticker on it every...

Thank you Gringeltaube. I’ll take your word for it. Lol I still can’t see it. Index says it page 229? Pardon my ignorance.

I keep searching the manuals and they go dark then my iPhone goes back to home screen. I’m looking for the yoke that slides onto the winch shaft that is held on with the shear pin. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

All of the sudden the Virginia legislation isn’t looking to bad compared to this.

I’m pretty confident that you have to shorten the rear driveshaft. However I could be wrong. If you do, then you might as well have the driveshaft shop weld on a new 1350 yoke on it. Whether or not you did or didn’t have to shorten shaft, please update this thread with what you had to do.

I know you didn’t ask this but just worth mentioning it. If your donor 14 bolt came from a 1 ton truck, you will have to move the spring perches on the axle.

You will have to shorten the rear. I’m not sure about the front but I would think you would. You also have to replace the yoke on the drive shafts to match the yokes on the differentials. Unless you want to run a conversation u joint. But I would not go that route.

Thank you for the reply.

I’ve searched with no success. Does anybody know good part numbers for longer wheel studs for the deuce? Thank you

This situation describes the way my body feels

I have no issues either Navo. But what it’s going to come down to is the attitude each city, state, or county police officer has that day or what their discretion of what the law is. Can’t wait for the stories.

I have tore apart my fair share of late 70s and mid 80s Chevrolet Trucks, Suburbans and Blazers. I’ve never come across that I recall a FMVSS sticker. Can somebody enlighten me on where it is at on older vehicles? What about all the cars and trucks that have been sandblasted where there is no...

49 CFR 571.7 of the National Hwy Traffic safety should apply to all FMVs then.

I would be curious how a cucv would fail state inspection when a k5 blazer would not.

Did any of the antique tag laws change? For example the distance of 250 miles from home. Also it would depend on when your FMV was manufactured as to what FMVSS were required for that year.

I personally believe this all started from lobbyists talking to a politician trying to get hmmwvs to be allowed to operate on the road with a special tag. Then backfiring and every fmv getting drug into this. There has never been any issues with any fmv in my area other then hmmwv. I’m sure...

So what is the latest with it? I called my state senator and he or his associates never have returned my call.

No. But I said some good points I think in the other post that would help others

This thread needs to be merged with the other one.

Just had a good conversation with MaverickH1. This is something I brought up with him. If this bill is passed anybody operating a former mv such as a 5 ton, 10 ton, lmtv for examples for their business use, would have to surrender their tags and get a former mv tag. Once receiving their new tag...
