PA...bad for the rust, great for the lack of smog testing. I envy your clean trucks, but those smog checks sound like a gigantic pain.

A total pain... especially with the primitive emission control systems on late 70s vehicles. I avoid it all costs.

Last year however legislation was introduced to move the exemption from 75 and older to 80 and older. Iam hoping it gets approved next year.

I hadn't heard about this, hopefully it goes through.
