I think the law is still on the books for p/u trucks. They amended it to require SUV's to fall under the passenger car law (which requires belts). Did Tom Murphy (D) retire or was he "run out of office"? I think the law was passed for farmers. They are required to be in and out of trucks (as part of their vocation). Regardless, I use belts in my 6000 lb. truck.
I agree the salvage title is a big stretch. It would certainly decrease the resell value in my opinion.
Thanks to everyone for your help. (thumbs up)
