As far as KenB's thought, I get a hunch when they want to know about your truck, it is a 'why' r these people doing it? Historical? home repairable? or... as in Mass.- emmissions tests. for a long time, people were keeping and buying and digging up 70's and 80's cars and trucks to avoid the strict pollution test. Then- couple years ago, 'cause of the computor pigtail? Nothing before a 95 gets a test, safety features and just 'no blue smoke'. Think tanks are either figuring ways to get people in line- or give up a loosing fight, just to get money moving again. I spent all last week getting the brake lines on my 94 fixed for this very reason. the state is debating letting new car dealers withhold repair parts - just so their own mechanics can handle the job. NAPA and auto zone etc are filling the windows with posters for us to email the state reps. Big brother up there keeps tabs on all this. Marloweg has the nutshell for 'most' states and provinces, if is restored or still as it left the factory, it is legal.... you customize beyond a point- it may be concidered 'new made' big hastle for rodders. And if your freind is hauling interstate or heavy commercial, antique rules may not apply. As far as split rims.... there has been so many horror stories, no one want to touch them, insurance agents, inspectors, tire changers... I know accidents are rare, but about 15-20 years ago, one blew up in my cousin's lap, nearly killed him, he is even homelier than he was before it riped his face open, but really- I bet he was doing something wrong, just my hunch. If you like the truck, just go for it, but my ol '39 D15 was a gas hog beyond belief... a green diamond flathead 6. Still runs good tho.
