Thanks for the info. I see what you mean. It is listed as empty weight 19,8XX. So 10,000 more off road and 20,000 more on road. On the registration they listed it as a classic vehicle, scale weight 19,8xx, and they put no GVW weight. I don't know why and I am certainly not going to start...

Sorry about the RV question. It was answered in the other threads, but am still interested in the GVWR question.

So why isn't a warm fuzzy 5 ton an RV? And could someone tell me where the GVWR is listed for the 5 ton? I understand look in the manual or get a weight slip for the truck and I understand how much it could carry according to the manual, but commercial trucks have the GVWR weight listed on a...

What monthly fee?

My truck is a 1968 M54. At Armed Forces Day last year a State Patrol Weights and Measure man came up to me and asked if I needed a CDL to drive that truck. I gulped and said I didn't think so because of the hydraulic brakes. He gave me a lecture. He was going quickly and I didn't follow it...

With the historic plates, I never have to license the 5 ton again. If someone buys it, they will also have to license it one time. It was a bit of a struggle to get the inspection and get the paperwork done, but you only have to do it once. Some of the older vehicle inspectors know and...

Your point is well taken and shows the arbitrary side of our legal system. I haven't licensed my 45 jeep trailer in probably 12 or better years. The only time it comes out is for events and the State Patrol usually drive by and wave. I was stopped two years ago in Oregon, two evenings in a...

Just a side note here. I licensed my M54 as an historic vehcile last April at the Chehalis office of the State Patrol. I took along the TM and showed the inspector the Data plate on the dash. He looked all over and was unable to find a frame number because there isn't one. He was also...
