I do keep it insured, I just played dumb and gave them the VIN and they didn't bat an eye... there again, it is a farm/ranch truck in a rural area an insurance runs cheap here.

Yeah, it's registration/tags that was wondering about. There's a guy at the place I work at in Farmersville that has a 40-50s Dodge that's got a Detroit Diesel in it. It may be a 1 ton though. I'll have to ask him next time I see him. He might be under farm tags too. A lot of the guys out there live on some decent sized acreages.

I'll haven't totally dug into it yet, but are the cabs between the c10-c30 close enough that the fenders and hood from a c40-c60 match up decently? I've seen a couple of pictures where the gauge clusters looked almost identical.
