California- Diesels- DMV Regulations- Do I have a chance of keeping my truck?
the deal is that its what your VIN number has attached to it. Mine is 26 k. I have registered it for a lower weight and pay less fees, but its still in the system and 20 years from its mfg date, they wont register it if it still has the original motor in it. I am looking into to having the...- maddog

California- Diesels- DMV Regulations- Do I have a chance of keeping my truck?
Towcat it doesn't make me feel any better, it pisses me off. Total bs. I am sorry to hear that. I tend to believe you about the certified weight on the door sticker/vin, but I have not read that anywhere in anything I have read. Where would I find that located?- maddog

California- Diesels- DMV Regulations- Do I have a chance of keeping my truck?
Got the registration done today. She came back with stickers for the doors with a 15 gvw on them. She said there was only 10-15 gvw catagory nothing for 12 or 14. I was a little dissapointed because I had told here 12 gvw so I would be under the 14 gvw limit for replacing the motor. For...- maddog

Yep, crew cab would be good. I thought about it but decided to just go with what I had. I think if I decided to put that much energy into one of these I would want something older. Probably a GM. I put the fuel tank, driveshaft and bled the brakes today. I dont have the bed or tail lights...- maddog

California- Diesels- DMV Regulations- Do I have a chance of keeping my truck?
I have a 98 Ford 800 with a Cummins. I recently bought it for a project and now I hear about the ridiculous smog laws concerning diesels here in California. I am shortening mine and putting a dually pickup bed on it and will never carry much weight. I have no other diesel trucks and dont use...- maddog

I guess its my turn, being a new guy and all. I have a 68 dodge one ton dually and was looking to put a Cummins in it and I came up with this one. A 98 Ford 800 Cummins allison 26K GVW.

New old guy from Southern California
Hello Looking forward to looking around here. Diesels started for me not too long ago. I bought this old 68 Dodge D300 with a welder on the back from a buddy of mine. It was kind of a boring truck in its stock configuration so I thought I would make it a 4x4. In doing the research I...- maddog
