Thanks Hanno and Alex for your reponses. My registration, which is how it was registered by the previous owner, might be my saving grace. It lists the truck as a 1942 Chevrolet Pick-up truck. and in the fine print states "Tonnage 0.75" I hadn't noticed that before. However, my registration also incorrectly lists the empty weight and gross weight as 4500lbs. and 6000lbs. respectively. Depending on how far the H.O.A. and their lawyer wish to pursue this, i.e., making me weight the truck, is there any other definitive way? Is the fact that it is 2 wheel drive sufficient to identify it as a 15cwt? I don't recall any 30cwt or 60cwt trucks built in two wheel drive. Thanks all for your help.

You are laughing.....
Photostat the registration ,enlarge it...blank out all other info other than name, address, make, model and tonnage(Highlighted)..
Photo stat the lawyers letter...
Include the two photostats back to the laywer with a note to him ..
Such as ...
"My 3/4 ton truck is in complyance with the law and is staying in my driveway....
Your move..."
Say no more...If they want to take you to court it is up to them to prove that it isn't a 3/4 ton truck...
Ain't law great...
Them having to prove it isn't is going to be a hell of a lot more expensive than your 50 Cent stamp on the lawyers letter..You don't need a lawyer to reply to the lawyer..but only give him the info that proves it is your's and it is registered as a 3/4 ton...no more...
Keep us up on the battle..
And if they don't cease and desist,there are all kinds of ambulance chasers that would love to sue on your behalf and split 50/50.....with nothing up front and nothing if they loose..
So you are in the drivers seat..
Or you could call one anyway and sue them right off the bat for harassment ....That is the American way...
I think you have a great chance of winning..
The stress of the situation should be worth a million anyway..then you could fly in to our meetings at Gracies in Ottawa..
