Passing State Inspection?

[Clip]

Hey all, getting my truck road ready and I was wondering how I'd pass state inspection.

This thing has no turn signals or seatbelts, and I can see down through a hole in the floorboard (factory cut, where the ebrake and 4wd selector go through) straight to the ground. Would these things be looked over because it's a '41, and since the original equipment didn't have turn signals or seatbelts?

head towards the country, the further away from a stoplight you can get, the better. Fix what you can, and take a little extra cash. you'll be alright

haha, not a problem around here. ive got a mechanic in mind that worships nascar, he'll be happy to see a little extra cash come his way. (and maybe even a dale jr. talking can opener)

I dont think it needs any of theat because of its age.

Don't quote me, but I don't think any state in the country cares about a '41 truck. That's like an antique, they get free passes on everything. Maybe in Nazi California they care, but I wouldn't know.

Nah, its grandfathered in CA. You should be fine as long as its to OEM spec and passes smog, etc.

oem is what im goin for, as for passing smog...when we started it up the first time after it sat for a few months it looked like we were fogging for mosquitoes. does fine now though, thanks for the input

In california anything older than 1975 does not need to be smogged. Im sure its the same for you Clip.

great. cali is usually a bit more strict, so i imagine virginia is gonna be pretty laid back.
