I have good news. My last trip to the DMV they listened to my long story then asked the supervisor who magically noticed that there was a "G" on the form which meant Gas instead of a "D" which means diesel. Correcting that fixed the required smog state and they gave me plates. My truck is now a...

Update: There are apparently two types of Smog Inspection stations in California. The newer ones are "star" rated and have dynos to measure emissions. Neither one of the types can do a Commercial truck that is 1993 and over 14,000 lbs. I've now called/visited 4 of them and they all say yes on...

Right now the truck is parked on a public street. I need to find a spot to rent to park it during the camper conversion. I was really hoping to be able to go the commercial truck route while I save up for and design the RV portion. I also have some mechanical faults and I planned on spending the...

I have complete the VIN verification through a VIN verifier. The DMV requires a Smog Certificate. After speaking with a manager I finally found the current information. Most of the pages on the California DMV site would suggest that you don't need to smog 1997 diesel or older or vehicles over...

I have paid the fees at the DMV to start the process of importation as a commercial vehicle. I need a CHP VIN verification and a Smog Inspection. My engine has stickers on it declaring it to be California Smog compliant at time of manufacture and I have the air board ruling for it as well. The...

With regards to the VIN. According to the California DMV it's short and therefore needs to be verified. A Verifier the California Highway Patrol (CHP) or a VIN Verifier needs to find the VIN on the vehicle in two places. There is another thread and the only place the VIN appears is on the data...

It looks like the CVRA is a Commercial Vehicle thing that is specific to California...

Did some more reading. I found a great sticker on the top of my engine that is a California Smog Cert. I was also able to find an air resources board document for our Cat 3116 Engines...

The annual CVRA (weight) fee is over $400 annually. I will re-register it as an RV once I have a box on the back.

I've just returned from my 1st of many trips to the DMV. There were some stale threads on this topic I didn't want to resurrect. Here is the current information for anyone looking to transfer a vehicle here. My LMTV was previously registered in Florida so I have a title in hand for it. The...
