Well it happened today guys, I got stopped by the NCSHP.
I had just picked up 6,000 lbs of gravel for my house when the SHP stopped me for a weight check. I have my deuce registered as a antique vehicle, and was told by the trooper that a antique vehicle tag only covers 4,000 lbs GVWR. He put my truck on his portable scales and weighed me at 20,500 lbs. So, he was "nice" enough to give me a 500lb grace, and then wrote me a ticket for being 16,000 lbs overweight. I tried explaining that the truck was NOT commercial and that it was primarily used for show and historical significance. He replied that he was also being nice and not writing me a ticket for not having a fuel decal. He told me that in NC if your truck has three or more axles then I must buy a fuel decal. I once again explained that my truck was NOT commercial, but it didnt matter.
So, after receiving a $630.00 ticket and an hour and a half later I was allowed to leave.....
Anybody want to buy a good 1971 non turbo deuce?!?!?!?!??
