new here looking for pre runner registration help

[UndercoverFab]

hi all new to the boards but have been reading for a while i`m moving to ventura next month (live on the wrong side of the country right now) and was wondering about registering a truck, i`m gonna use a stock frame (73 or older so i dont have to smog it),i was wondering how much of the frame must remain to register the vehicle so i can drive it on the streets, i`d like to make it round tube from the cab back and narrow the rails in the engine bay for my A arms, also is there another way to register a special construction vehicle? ie if I built a full tube chassis truck.

Start with a pre-smog vehicle with current registration. Once it is in your name, take off the gloves and go to work! Try to preserve atleast 2 VIN's, the windshield Vin and the fire wall Vin. This should prevent any hassles down the road.
