Will be buying this ol' sweetheart once we thaw in Northern MN: 1963 C900
Allegedly runs and drives, very little rust.
Plans include a flatbed on the rear, delete the tag axle, air springs, eventually a diesel/auto trans & maybe some super single tires for a cool look. The idea is to eliminate my truck/car trailer combo and save myself a parking spot here in suburbia, while having a cool old rig to run around in.
**ok my picture woes continue... trying to load a pic here and it gets to 90% then stops - ugh!! Still cannot see everyone's pics on your posts, nor to post my pictures.
Beware the GVWR. A 900 is bound to be over 26001 and you would be in CDL land. If you rework it, your state may allow a lower registration, but I would inquire about that first. (IF, of course, CDL would be an issue for you)
Also do you have commercial vehicle parking "issues" in suburbia?
Great question 85e150, I asked the ol farmer selling the rig, and he was all like "nah you don't need a special license" because yes, that'd be an issue for me. Parking isn't a concern - I live in a really cool neighborhood. Guess I gotta get some more intel on the old grain truck.
Agriculture gets a cdl exemption for ag use close to the farm. If it shows a gvwr if 26001 or more then as a car hauler or general flat bed you would be subject to the cdl rules. Gvwr should be on the warranty plate on the driver side door.
Depends on GVWR. That should be on the warranty plate riveted to the driver door. 26000 and under, good. 26001, CDL unless you can claim ag or RV exemption or other exemption as found via your state motor vehicle department.
