    While it could be listed as suspeded on the uncle's 2290; you will need something to show it's federal heavy highway use tax status to obtain registration 50K pounds and over.

    Over the years I've seen a few guys with the talent to build a truck of their dreams; a number of truly beautiful trucks driven with pride.

    On the other hand, get this running and you can learn to drive and fix for sure and it could be possible to to run it for a living; anything is possible with enough money and time.
