Also, you might want to put "Antique" plates on it and then they can only charge you for $500.00 value. My 30 pickup cost more in property taxes than my 2015 Honda Pilot. I'm going to switch to "Antique" plates. You also can run period plates and keep the legal plate under the seat. I also have the written law printed and wrapped around the plate under the seat incase I ever get a rookie cop and he doesn't know the law.
They are going by the number on the frame. That said, if your car / truck is a 28 on a 31 frame, guess what? You own a 31. I just went through that last year. The bond comes into play if there is no title at all.
