Texas Vehicle Inspection Checklist

[barronj]

I did have one inspection place fail my bronco after they determined my aux gas cap wouldn't hold a vacuum. %) Only time I've seem them checked.
Ironically, I went to this place because another Bronco owner told me they were bronco-friendly.

Check your pm's

You are correct - my truck is registered as a 'classic car' (my wife registered it for me when I transfered the title and told them it was a sports utility. A sports utility is considered a car in Texas, and I could not get truck plates) - which is just a different license plate. The 'antique' tag has the restrictions I noted in my earlier post.

>>> it's strange you & plenty of others say they have their broncos registered as cars ,because in the government/EPA eyes it's considered a truck...mines always been registered as a truck.... since day one when the clean air act of 1970 when into full effect across the country in 1975 they have considered vans & SUV vehicles as trucks ....it's plain as day on their website .... in the light duty vehicles section >> it says you have passenger cars & (light trucks: minivans, passenger vans, pickup trucks, and sport-utility vehicles) ..... >>> see link for basic vehicles descriptions>> http://epa.gov/otaq/standards/basicinfo.htm ...... you should be able to get classic truck plates like mine if it's registered as a SUV no matter what the DMV person is telling you....
