Hobert62 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I left mine run when I ran into local mom and pop grocery store and people inside thought there was a helicopter outside. it was making stuff inside vibrate. They went out to look for it and realized it was the truck. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50125-72-r-model-grocery-getter/#findComment-371861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I can't admit doing that since it is against VA state code to run errands using antique tags. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

I run errands (in VA) every now and then under the guise of test driving. Last fall I came out of the hardware store and there was a sheriff's car parked behind my B and the officer was standing there. When I walked up he asked if he could take a picture as his dad drove a truck "just like this back in the day". 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50125-72-r-model-grocery-getter/#findComment-371897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Agree, I have historical tags on 3 vehicles. I drive them when I want to(work, play, whatever). As long as you don't get some uppity Barney Fife trying to make a name for himself or drive it the same place for many days in a row I don't sweat it. Let them try to prove I wasn't doing something "official" with it. I think mostly, like Harry says, they are more interested in seeing them then complaining about them. Just two weeks ago I hauled my bunk across town on a trailer. Then Thurs I hauled a bobcat to install the bunk.

fxfymn Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) The key phrase is "I can't admit doing it..." And it is nice to collect all those quarters I charge for pictures. On a serious note, we almost lost the antique tag privileges when a considerable number of folks decided to start registering their daily driver as an antique. I have no problem with the Klingons stopping that so those of us that own true antiques don't have to pay taxes or get annual inspections.

ranchhopper Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Illinois has issued a expanded antique plate for trucks as there is no weight restriction like regular antique plates. The truck can be driven anywhere anytime even with a load on it between march and November. You cannot drive it legally except during those months which if fine because there is nothing going on around here then anyways.

mowerman Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 My state has no regulation on antique tags sep can't work with it but you are allowed to pull a trailer with other antiques I suppose they wouldn't know you are getting paid to move them haha.bobSent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50125-72-r-model-grocery-getter/#findComment-372095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Lots of old clapped out junkers(not rat rods either) running around here with Historical plates on them. Yup, that is the way we will loose them. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Hobert62 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Pa dosent need a yearly inspection on antique tags. Personally I think that's wrong and if its driven on the road it should have to be inspected. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50125-72-r-model-grocery-getter/#findComment-372102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
