The first thing a commercial CHP officer will ask for is your paperwork. I would be astonished if you did not get cited for driving out of class. Since you already have your B permit they will probably through the book at you.
It is funny that the DMV is asking about the frame VIN. Even...
I would truly like to know where this is written. If it is law or policy you can lobby your senators and congressmen to reverse it. If it is part if the contract then you have a legal issue and AM General, or there successor, would have to release it but but due to fear of product liability I do...
To legally drive the truck you need a trip permit from each state with the vin listed, a insurance card for the truck and at least a class B CDL. You need the CDL because the assumption is the vehicle is commercial until you register it in your state as non commercial.
The $1300 is cheap compared to the possible impound, tow and fines.

Trip permits and insurance cards are a very tricky issue for a GL truck because without the correct vin the insurance card is useless and without a title you usually can not get a trip permit.
Then you have the whole class b issue.
I have had all my vehicles hauled off the base and back to the...
I have registered and titled several trailers with only a handwritten bill of sale without an issue. They are titled to the original manufacturer using the serial number on the data plate.
If you buy it from GL you need to get the form 97 because the package also includes a bill of sale.

There are two different size king pins.
2" and 3.5"
The 2" is for normal trailers and allows a GVW of 80K
The 3.5"'is for overweight or heavy haul.
The diameter refers to the small diameter.
The king pins need to be checked for wear periodically. There is a special wear gauge. The wear can...
Who ever told you a class B I not required for a M931A2 has never read CA VC section 12804.9. Under a class C you are only allowed to drive a three axle vehicle under 6000 lbs.
I do not know what a modified vehicle is. Pleas provide the CA VC citation.
A weight certificate is just an agreed...
Towing a 40 foot container, with any tools in it, behind any truck using a M1022 dolly will require a CDL for three reasons. The first reason is that a trailer with a steering axle is a combined vehicle. The second reason is the combined weight of the dolly, container and tool is over 10,000...
If you drive a truck auto trans like you drive a car you will be disappointed.
If you drive a correctly set up truck auto the way they are supposed to be driven it is like night and day. And you can still shift it if you do not like where it shift.
I looked into doing this several years ago and decided it would be very costly and cause issues with insurance and the CHP/ DOT.
The first issue you have is most, if not all, A2's are not old enough to be registered in California as historic.
The ability of the truck to swap the bodies will...
