Thanks, the license plate does say truck so it looks like I'll be able to skate on this one.

i'd print out the page from the internet and take it with you just in case they give you crap about it. that's how i got by w/out marker lights on my 4runner after i built the bumper and coverted the corner marker lights to blinkers for a quick fix.

I've had mine inspected w/o a speedo in Austin the last 5 years or so, guess I should get around to replacing that gear that's in a box in my garage somewhere. Anyway, never had a problem -
