I always wondered what a pickup would look like with a medium duty grille and headlights in place of the original setup.

I agree, and I've always wanted a 'real' one, but "truck" registration starts at 10,000 GVW here. I'm not 100% sure what that all includes, but I know it means a big registration fee and a big up charge on the insurance. I just don't need the truck enough to justify those charges on a continuous basis. My '73 3/4 ton already cost more to insure than an '01 BMW 720i. Isn't that ridiculous?

Did they ever make one of those trucks less than 10k GVW factory?

There's a big warehouse building around the corner from my shop that always has '70s medium duty Chevys torn up and peiced together sitting around, I think I'm going to go ask them what they do there? They seem to have front clips laying around on a regular basis. I'm not sure if that's just personal stuff or they work on 'em...they don't have a sign or anything. :lol:

It's unlikely you'll find one that has a GVW rating of anything less than 26k. In KY you have to have a CDL to operate a straight truck if it has either A: a GVW of 26,001 or more, or B: air brakes. As far as registration, we run the same plates on grain trucks that we do on pickups (farm plates).
