Sorry to hear about your encounter. Now they may be interpreting your 5-ton as a commercial vehicle and if it is parked in a residential area, that could be illegal. Some HOA's have rules like this and some are actually code enforced aka you can get a ticket for it. Here in San Diego, it is...

As long as you are not intending on using it as Commercial. Commercial use, whole different story. Pretty much anything pre-1974 is a no brainer for no smog requirements on a gasser. So you're good to go!~!~

Just a simple update about me getting my M818 all legalized. My last post I reported that I received my Historical Plates from Sacramento, all that was missing was my title. Just got my official California Title, all that is left is my insurance (don't worry moderators, not going to make it an...

I see what you are saying and yes I did fill the form out correctly as I wanted to make sure that there wasn't any actions that could jeopardize the title and registration process. If anything, I provided more information that would clearly suggest that it is a truck, if not more, even the...

Well guess what happened today? Don't worry, it is nothing bad. The DMV fairy stopped by my house and dropped of my Historical Plates for my 5-ton M818. So now I am 100% legal to drive on the roads of California. I posted the registration slip minus my personal info to show how the State...

Not saying your wrong, because the wording is so vague in California. I researched it and wrote up a decent post about it. It may help, it may not. Link>>http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?119524-Deuce-purchase-issue-in-California&p=1785646&viewfull=1#post1785646

You are correct sir, the verbiage does kind of contradict itself from one publication to the other, so until it is corrected and fully enforced, I say drive on.

A CDL only helps to make things easier in California, but it gets tricky. See if you have a CDL and are driving a MV, then LEO can take that as fact that your MV is a commercial vehicle and then must meet the new smog law listed at the beginning of this...

Not really a loophole but a different way to register, but may not fit everybody's style. Not trying to hijack this thread, but I wrote up a decent post about the process of CDL's and such, it is just a guideline, not to be taken as the law, because your local LEO may have a different view...

Currently in the process of registering my '70 M818 5-ton the same way as Blendmaster, so far everything has gone according to plans, which is good. Originally, DMV wanted $709 per year in combined fees, most of which were weight fees,to register the 818, plus VIN verification, plus certified...
