hello everybody!
tim- they are going to need to do a VIN verification on the truck at DMV because it was reg'd out of state, so you will need temps. i would just insure it and run it with no plate. definitely do not use a different plate, thats a big deal. if you get caught with no plate its just driving an unregistered vehicle, and as long as its insured they probably arent going to stop you from driving, just give you a ticket for $78. try what greg suggested, and you may be able to get your temps. or if the dealer wont give you an unofficial bill of sale, i bet you could make on yourself.
