I was able to get the truck registered yesterday and received plates.
After providing the vin verification form (which cost me $160), I went back to the dmv. I was anticipating that they were going to send me to the scales and I would need to figure out how to get the truck there when it isn’t running well.
When we got to that part (I was holding my breath), she asked me how much the truck weighed, I told her my estimate, she entered it into the computer, and she handed me plates/sticker.
Phew, dodged one there!
