USE OF ANTIQUE, CLASSIC AND VINTAGE REGISTRATION PLATES The use of antique, classic and vintage registration plates is governed by Section 1340 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, which states: “It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorcycle or vehicle with antique, classic, vintage, collectible or historic military vehicle registration plates for general daily transportation. Permitted use shall be limited to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses.” Occasional transportation and similar uses are defined as no more than one day a week. Antique, Classic, and Vintage registration plates may not be displayed on a vehicle used to transport people or property.

Sounds like the perfect registration for a project pappy truck. That law is so poorly worded you can basically do whatever you want. Is a local cop going to sit and watch my driveway and count how many times i drive it a week?

Likely not, but more importantly here is that antique plates are not intended for project vehicles either. That's what the 4 picture requirement used to keep out was rust-buckets and cheapskates trying to avoid car inspection fees with shit boxes that made the cut because they were old. Can you now register these shit boxes as antique and drive em to work everyday? I guess so. Is it right? No. But if the state doesn't care to enforce it and you are hell bent on having your way, go for it. What's another lie or sin these days right? Commonplace.

I wouldn’t consider this truck a shitbox necessarily, it just needs some TLC. It’s a leisure vehicle for me, I’ve wanted an OBS ford for years. Hell, I just want to be able to drive it to work once a week and go pickup stuff from a store every once in a while.
