Hi Paul and other ol truckers,
I've been down this road with the folks at DMV.... Tell them you are
registering a HISTORICAL VEHICLE. There is no differentiation between
passenger and commercial in this class and they will forget all about the
weight cert. I did all this at CSAA (AAA) on both my '55-1 and my '46.
Do people have to be jerks before they are hired at DMV or do they change
after they're hired?
