Chris -
I would doubt that you would need a CDL if you never used your truck
commercially.
$150 seems cheap from my point of view here in Michigan. My Ford Expedition
costs me a few times that every year, and it only weighs 7200#.

>Hey All,

>8000 lbs GVW cannot be licensed as an antique so the truck would have to

>the higher the GVW, the higher the price. I listed my deuce as 15,000 GVW
