To Staggerlee , i noticed you said,
"It's probably worth noting that we don't have inspections in CA, and the closest thing to that - "smog checks" are only required on 1976 and newer models."
Just fyi.... Ca now has "brake & lamp" inspections on salvaged vehicles (not saying this was a salvaged truck). If you look at any Salvaged vehicles, it will require you to take it to a shop so they can inspect all the lighting & braking system. Also Ca. DMV requires your truck to be weighed at a scale. Lastly the CHP will need to verify the parts on you vehicle are not stolen.
All this only applies to SALVAVED TITLES. Good luck in your hunt!
