Hey, Have you ever tried selling trucks like that on E-bay? Before scraping any vehicles I pull all the useable parts and sell them. It brings in quite a bit of extra cash. Congratulations on the free truck!

it means it won't pass emission standards...no pass, no drive in some counties.

In Belgium in the 1970s when I was in germany several friends visited Belgium
and the cops looked at the bottoms of their cars with mirrors and condemned
them for rust. They were ordered to remove their possessions and the cars were
crushed. They did not have Belgian plates and were not living in Belgium and they
were not compensated. siegfried schlagrule

AA don't know where you're at but there are shops that will guarantee you pass or you don't pay. My friend in Arizona had problems passing, found her a shop, the guy juiced her car tweeked the carb. It passed with flying colors. He was telling me he tries to get to emissions real early in the morning. Said the filters on the testing equipment only gets cleaned at the end of the day. Said he's taken cars in in the afternoon & they failed turned around took it back first thing in the morning with out doing anything & it passed He got into a ton of details of the gas heating up in the tank, if you get in a line don't turn the car off & on moving up in the line, and running it at a fairly high idle right before you pull it on the test rack. Something to do with how the computer meters the fuel. I should've took notes! He had it down to a science. Oh yeah, in Arizona, they don't really mention that if you don't pass & spend X amount of dollars making the repairs and still don't pass you go to a special test station & they give you a waiver

Not to mention the body parts & drive train are worth a ton more than it is on four wheels. Hope that gives you an idea or two Buddy!
