Ah serious real truck mud flaps rather than that fancy stuff.

Can you get it inspected on the island or do you have to take it off the island for inspection?

Re: 59 Viking .....Mudflap's

Closes State inspection station is the one in Parkland off HWY 512
probably go by so. Tacoma wy then cut on to 512 it will be an adventure for sure
top speed in the truck is 50mph at that speed it is a dicey ride...

I might replace the front tire there not checked
but there are very hard were they've been sitting in the dirt when I found it ...
.
.
#1 issue is getting fuel..
might have to transfer from 20lb cylinder (BBQ tanks)
The gas company on the Island is shut down indefinitely..??
I'm on 5% and that wont get me very far
