Rodent, when you got your title did it indicate it was ex military? if it was a cucv it might describe it as only a Chevrolet of a given year. Check and let us know because I thought the five year collector plates were just for civilian vehicles of the so called antique or horseless carriage...
I also thought that just working on a better interpretation of the law that was passed might be in most of our own best interests. However, this tactic would require a fairly substantial monetary risk on someones part in going the court route. Not to mention a potential battle that could drag...
I was down to the larimer county office to get new stickers for plates on various vehicles, all non military. While there I decided to ask about plating a military vehicle. The clerk initially did not know anything about new regulations. Pressing her a little more she finally found the memo...
Thanks for posting and the great details. I presume you are in fuel off mode while doing this test so the engine won't actually fire. If you did an actual compression test on at least two cylinders can you create a relative scale of compression values?
I spent some time researching the state government here and it seems that once a bill becomes law then a different set of issues also comes up. It then passes to any agency that is tasked with enforcement of said law. The directors or executives of that branch of government must then make...
Sgt Maj Harper and Gama Goat 1--Do we know the name and title of the Department head at the Colorado Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicles, that issued this Memo to all of the county clerks? Perhaps we need to discuss this with that persons manager/superior, perhaps even go to the governor?
Mann 650--can you provide a list of names and addresses for those folks you believe can make a difference? Perhaps we can do a "grass roots" effort to change the states mind. Assuming that I can even openly ask this question in this forum. If not, a PM would be appreciated.
Thank you Gama Goat 1. So if no military vehicle is to be titled and registered for on highway use how will all the fire departments, rescue and police tag there surplus equipment for on road? Will they all have to get rid of them? Will there be a fire sale in Colorado from all the police...
Your sewing reminds me of my dad. He had training as a parachute rigger during WW11. He made canvas patches to our tents just like this when I was a kid. Those old Singers just keep on going and tough as heck. Thanks and good work!
My take is that in the time of these vehicles, if it had no winch on the front, the headlights were mounted low and the upper position was for an electric horn on the right side with the small military " low light output" lamp on the upper left side. If it did have a winch, which was somewhat...
Howdy and welcome from Northern Colorado. Let us know how things go with your pick-up/EUC. Be interested as well regarding your Colorado Title process and results. Lots of things have been changing in that area.
I presume you are asking about possible failure of a radial tire if its used to running in one direction for thousands of miles and then rotating it in the opposite direction for possibly thousands of additional miles. While bias ply (NDCC etc) tires likely would not have a problem with this...
It appears to be refining the definition of the terms "Historic Military Vehicle" and "Surplus Military Vehicle" as to the ability to legally operate it on Highway or restrict that vehicle to off highway use. It is confusing as it also has some sort of exemption for HMMWV. It appears to me...
Howdy and welcome from Colorado. Take your time and enjoy everything about the truck. Echoing what others have said, include the family, it will pay dividends. before and after documentation/photos are always a plus.
