[oletrucks] California DMV registration

["G. Simmons" <gls@4link.net>]

I'm contemplating buying a late 1970s  292 for my orphan '55-1.  I'm a
little hesitant, though because I can't remember if the California smog laws
require compliance for the engine as well as the vehicle.

Has anyone had experience trying to register a pre-smog vehicle with a
post-smog engine in California?  Did you have any problems or did they just
go by the vehicle date?

Thanks,

Grant S.
