Keith, I went through something similar within the last year with my county code enforcement officer. They too were claiming the truck was commercial, and prohibited. I won my case, because the county had to define a "commercial vehicle" and their definition had nothing to do with whether it...

They exempted me from the reinspection because of the hassle on my first truck, although my second truck will need to be inspected. I don't think my insurance company will have any issues with it, because the make and model was already in their computer system. They already know what it is...

If it was me she was thinking about, I never got a call, or a letter. Do you remember who you spoke with?

I still haven't heard anything one way or another. Scratch that. Just got the e-mail.

Add me to the list of those who simply took the regulator off. Works much better now.

Chris, I noted on my application that there may be multiple people with military trucks from this site applying individually. After I faxed mine over, she called to confirm that she got my note. My application was placed with RRRR's so that the committee would place us together in the...

Have anything you can share? A few of us down here in Missouri are having the same problem.

Kristine Fields is the person that contacted me. I don't know how many people they have involved on the organization side. They were still working on the paperwork side of things as of the 17th, and she said she would be in touch again once they had everything in order. If you e-mail their...

A large event is being planned on short notice for our returning veterans. It is going to be this upcoming Saturday, Janurary 28th. There has been a lot of interest locally, with all of the news stations, and large corporations backing the event. They are seeking participants for the parade...

I'm hoping so, other than they wouldn't listen to an average person like me pointing it out to them. That's why I called somebody that I knew they would listen to first. I'm assuming the Highway Patrol guy heard something loud and clear, as he was calling me less than 30 minutes after a...

His was. The lady from the DMV found it and told me about it while I was on the phone with her regarding my letter. I wasn't sent for a vehicle examination. They do those too, and it has to do with different issues. I was merely sent for a VIN verification. All they do (or are supposed to...

So all you need up there is a sticker? That should be easy enough.

I used to be in the limousine business. Once the car is cut in half, it looses its previous status. Although it gets to keep the VIN, it no longer meets any of the safety requirements. Companies that do the conversions must crash test their cars to get them recertified. Either way, it...

I understand. The problem is that unless whatever they are looking at says something about military vehciles, they aren't going to have a leg to stand on. Any excuse they have to not title and license these trucks can be shown to not be an excuse when it comes to other vehicles. That's good...

The problem with that is that they title and license limousines. Can't have it both ways. :mrgreen:

The Chief Of Staff of the Highway Patrol was the one initially contacted in my case, and I believe he is pretty near the top. He had the guy in charge of the inspection division in Jefferson City call me. He wasn't aware of anything the Highway Patrol has said that would prevent the trucks...

Although nobody has yet been able to point to any specific law or other binding rule, I still believe there is a way around it under the current law governing street rods and custom vehicles. There may be others as well.

It is a State Representative that I already have involved. Although I'm a bit testy about it here, I have been quite nice with everybody on the phone. The Highway Patrol, thus far, has been very professional. The gentleman I spoke with had no idea why the DMV would even bring up the name of...

That would be a good argument for them, if they could actually point me towards a written rule. Thus far, nobody from the DMV nor from the Highway Patrol knows about any written rule. They know about the rule, but can't seem to find it written down anywhere. That would also be a great...

There are laws on the book. These are rules that we all (including the state) must follow. If the law doesn't say that we can't license them, then they aren't any different than any other vehicle that they will license. Missouri will license dune buggies, ATVs, golf carts, previously...
