Being an old truck I knew it won't need smog and registration would be cheap but I didn't even think about the antique vehicle options.

I think all will be happy with this situation, he gets a big piece of his yard back, we get a truck, and he can come up and drive it in a place where it won't get honked off the road (along with the expected inappropriate gestures).

That reminds me I do need to track down a manual for it.
