76 high boy

I have a 76 high boy and was thinking of going to propane if it would be smog exemt in ca. the truck is 95% offroad 5% onroad with the propane I would not stall out on a hill like gas. but I need it to be registered to park if front of my house for time to time. the truck is on the road about 30miles a year.
can it be done in Ca. I would take all the gas tanks off so it would be propane only.

Welcome to the site.
You have an interesting idea. I might ask if you are looking for an emissions exemption because you might have a big inch engine that does not pass emissions. This would be a decent way around it. Most of us here in So. Ca just find a vehicle that is at least one year older than yours. Perhaps the cut-off will move, and your vehicle will soon become exempt.
In your case, you might consider calling someone from the air resources board. The contact can be reached here. Subject Top Page: Aftermarket, Performance and Add-On Parts Regulations
The e-mail is posted at the bottom. Perhaps this individual can help. I do know that these upgrades require specific manufacturers, but it is limited to late model vehicles. Perhaps there is room for an early one.
I would be interested to see what results you might obtain.
