This guy's place is right up the road from me. I went by to ask him about how he registered his truck and he said it was pretty easy. It needed some emissions work to pass inspection and a few minor things. The Department of Motor Vehicles then issued him a registration. This article is actually what perked my interest in these trucks and led me to this website. http://www.projo.com/projocars/content/CA-BRICKLEYS_06-23-07_TR62UN0.1b9c96e.html
