Plain English - OCGA codes does not state any Mfg Name make or model - it just flat states if it is not complaint after 1985 it is not legal if it does not have an FMVSS decal attached to the vehicle.
Before I add the code - those building bobbers - building crew cabs and manipulating or reconfiguring trucks in the State of Georgia better look up O.C.G.A. Title 40-3-30.1 - But read my post #320 before you look it up.

§ 40-2-27. Registration of motor vehicles not manufactured to comply with federal emission and safety standards applicable to new motor vehicles; certificate of title
(a) No application shall be accepted and no certificate of registration shall be issued to any motor vehicle which was not manufactured to comply with applicable federal emission standards issued pursuant to 42 U.S.C.A. Section 7401 through Section 7642, known as the Clean Air Act, as amended, and applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards issued pursuant to 49 U.S.C.A. Section 30101, et seq., unless and until the United States Customs Service or the United States Department of Transportation has certified that the motor vehicle complies with such applicable federal standards and unless all documents required by the commissioner for processing an application for a certificate of registration or title are printed and filled out in the English language or are accompanied by an English translation.
(b) The provisions of subsection (a) of this Code section shall only apply to applications for certificates of registration for such motor vehicles first registered in Georgia after July 1, 1985. Certification of compliance shall only be required at the time of application for the issuance of the initial Georgia certificate of registration.
(c) Applications for registration of such motor vehicles shall be accompanied by a Georgia certificate of title, proof that an application for a Georgia certificate of title has been properly submitted, or such other information and documentation of ownership as the commissioner shall deem proper.
(d) Before a certificate of registration is issued for an assembled motor vehicle or motorcycle, such assembled motor vehicle or motorcycle shall have been issued a certificate of title in Georgia and shall comply with the provisions of Code Section 40-3-30.1.
HISTORY: Code 1981, § 40-2-25.1, enacted by Ga. L. 1985, p. 693, § 1; Code 1981, § 40-2-27, as redesignated by Ga. L. 1990, p. 2048, § 2; Ga. L. 1994, p. 97, § 40; Ga. L. 2000, p. 951, § 3-5; Ga. L. 2002, p. 512, § 5; Ga. L. 2002, p. 1378, § 2; Ga. L. 2008, p. 835, § 3/SB 437.
If and when they pull titles and registrations in Ga if this is not passed - you do not have a leg to stand on because YOU should have known. State relieves itself of liability because you did not look it up and took it for granted.
There are no other hidden free pass's or hidden anything that has not been pursued in current law. It states it here in plain English.
