Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Interesting, thanks. Is there anything that would be placed on the vehicle that would identify it as a 2007, rather than a 1987, for registration and identification purposes? Or should I proceed with registering it as a 1987?In the civi world we call it a "glider" when an old truck gets sent in for complete overhaul. Only it also resets the year of manufacture on the title to the year that the glider was performed. Essentially any thing that still meets spec for a new truck gets re-used and anything worn gets replaced.
Wise advice, thanks!They didn't as a standard practice replace the data plate on reset...I have an m1035 reset in 1993, it has the original data plate. And for many reasons...you want it as old as possible, newer is not better. Registration fees, insurance, titling for Historical...
Makes sense, thanks. The only problem I have with this is that an 87 is almost considered a classic now! Those were the days!!!Yes you definitely want to keep the original year of manufacture. Highway safety standards only apply to vehicles that are newer than 25 years, and many states have similar rules. Also if you are using it as a display for parades and such you may want classic plates due to cost reasons.
Thank you!3-point seat belts installed.
