It is so fucking cool to drive this truck. It showed up last week and it needs a little bit of work so I have been driving it just as needed, take it to the mechanic, take it to get get tires and take it to AAA to get it registered. The registration is fun. Here is CA you do not have to smog a vehicle it it is older than 1975. However you have do have to take it to the DMV, the CHP or a certified inspector so they can verify the truck. I took it to AAA and the guys asked me where is the VIN. Hell, I don't know, but here is the truck. So I had to come home and google where is the VIN on a 1941 truck. Took a bit and I found it. The tires of course had to be ordered so next weekend will be new tires and get it registered. Then I will drive it a bunch. I can't wait to get rid of the bias ply tires.
The thing is, I really do not care what people think about me. I dress for comfort and not for looks. But it is cool to see people give you a thumbs up as you drive by. I was at a stop light and a couple guys on bicycles rode by and one said in the window "Nice truck". My son is into the truck and it will be fun on Sunday to take him to Home Depot. My wife will be much happier when I get the seat belts installed.
