M38A1 History?

No kidding just back from the ICBC agent and while I did the search and thankfully came up with not hits on either of them...I now have to have them inspected...Another gouge out of the wallet and since one is well in pieces that will not work and the 53 that runs well it needs brakes and a lot of little things to get it to pass before even a registration! talk about rediculous...as we can't even insure them during this time frame...! Things have changed mainly they said because of the influx of the used japanese right hand drive things people are bringing in to canada by the boat load How about you did you have to inspect...?

When I got mine it was the same as your CDN - runs but no brakes. Unlike yours, mine had been previously registered in BC (it is also an ex-Chilliwack truck), but the previous owner was a defunct company (the owner of which was dead), and it took me about 10 months just to get it registered in my name. I did not, however, need to get it inspected. It is still not roadworthy, in fact, but it has plates and I could theorhetically walk into ICBC, pay for insurance and legally drive it. Crazy, I know.

Yesss I know the pain of the cash grab right to the....wallet LOL and you thought I was going to say B@lls ! ha well i made a last attempt to beg and plead and worm my way to a very nice sounding lady who asked me for the original forms that showed that Chilliwack actually and indeed did own the vehicle and sold it...I gave them that copy but like the provincial and federal gov's they really never speak to each other so one dept, one floor up does not have access to the file that I created and they are the next step in the insuring process?
So she actually said she would walk downstairs to see the file and the documents I have left there...wow! LMAO! so I am waiting with fingers and anything else crossed that she will accept it then it's a sitghting of the SN and viola I pay more money tax transffer and vintage plates! It's nice to dream and costs nothing to do so...LOL have a great day! I should move to HOPe cause that's where i am most days...? LOL

Got it done! Yes she's registered finally and with out pulling too many teeth! So now the real work begins trying to get it real roadworthy before Rememberance Day Would like to drive it to the cenotaph in my last uniform to pay repects!

So now the Brakes! Should be fun as Rob said the fun never stops bearings seal brake shoes drums...LOL on and on worse than the list from the spousal unit!
