I was noticing a 1940"s International straight truck for sale on my way to work for the last couple weeks, thinking of the possibilities. Today at work I mentioned it to someone and they told me the D.O.T would make you update the whole truck (brakes, split rims, etc) before they would consider it road worthy. He claimed he found it out by buying a 1960"s Chevy 2 ton truck to use for a mobile dumpster and his insurance agent told him about this. Is this true? This sounds like trying to make you put seat belts in a model T. I can see lowering the weight rating to compensate for lack of braking ability, But update things that were never required when new? Or am I just behind the times?
