So Wednesday I get a phone call to tell me the truck should be dropped off that night.
Quickly went to the insurance co. and got the forms I needed, RMV-1 and Antique plate form. The registry was a zoo and I was not sure I would make it before they closed. As luck would have it, I ended up with the same guy that did the paperwork on my Deuce. Antique was not an issue but the short VIN was. Looked like I was going to need a VIN check from a LEO but the concensus was to allow it and worst case the title could get rejected until a VIN check is made.
So plates in hand I waited until the trucker called me to say he was 30 minutes out from dropoff address. By then it was 9:30 PM and so my first driving lesson was in the dark along the narrow roads back to my house. Only 'event' was the smoke from one of the panel bulbs which seems to have melted the lens cover.
Thursday I went for an inspection sticker. As it's a 1984 even with Antique plates in MA it needed an emissions test. Passed wth flying colors. The computer called for a commercial inspection, lets just say it passed all the tests
Now to get familiar witht the truck and do all the maintainence checks etc.
