2010 389 with 99 Cummins

Morning all! I'm an O/O looking into a new tractor (it needs to be pre emissions and ELD exempt) and came across what looks to be a nice 2010 Pete 389. However upon further review it seems the tractor does not have a GGGG glider VIN. But it does have a 99 Cummins long block. It's appealing to me being that the engine is emissions free and would be ELOG exempt. However the VIN on the tractor would come back as an emissions tractor. My question is, will this pose an issue for DOT inspections, is it legal? Is this just a complete disaster waiting to happen? The dealer says it's fine and I'll have no issues. Sounds great until it leaves the lot, then it is my problem. Just starting out and I don't want to shell out all my money on emissions repair and I'll be traveling on car ferries very often so absolutely can not have ELOG as it will be 8 hours of down time total per trip on a ferry. Thanks in advance for any and all help. I'm still looking for a real GGGG VIN glider. Here is the truck in question. Please give me your thoughts. 2010 PETERBILT 389 - 794471 - Ohio Truck Sales

Awesome! I appreciate all the help. All the answers I was looking for. Some things pointed out that I did not notice before. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a truck?
Emissions and ELD exempt
Preferably 6NZ
18SPD
60" or larger sleeper
280" or LESS wheelbase
I would love a 389 Glider if I can find one. If not I would be happy with a pre 2000 379.
Possibly even a W900
Cummins or C15 would be fine too. Absolutely no Detroit.

 

Yeah I've been looking at truck market up and down. They have a few good ones. I'm not terribly concerned with high prices as long as it is worth it.

 

I'm more concerned with the truck having an emissions VIN and a non emissions motor. If I were to actually buy it I would have a shop make some changes. However I don't think I'll buying this one as it seems to have too many red flags. I also feel the salesman is a bit "dishonest" about the truck.
