It technically is supposed to be mechanical but finding someone to pass it with a linelock probably wouldnt be too hard.

Finding places to pass janky stuff is getting harder and harder to find these days so keep that in mind.
Take my advice and keep an emergency brake for as long as you are going to drive on the road. I cut the cable going to mine when I went SOA because it was hindering flex. For three years I had to beg people to drive with me down to their buddies shops and friends of friends type situations to get it passed. It sucked and took way too much time and effort. Now of course I am an antique vehicle so I don't have to worry about inspections but that's my two cents.
quicker sticker would pass it with a line lock.
I'm pretty positive that TxDPS requires it to be a mechanical emergency brake but some mechanics will pass it with a line lock. Not supposed to but I guess they see no harm in it while others stick to the book.
"Vehicles registered as "Antiques" are exempted from the annual inspection. To see the restrictions on the use of antiques or to obtain more information on how to register your vehicle as an "Antique", see the TxDOT website."
No inspection, I just have to re-register it every 5 years.
Austin got the frawg with a bungie cord putting tension on the factory lever. It is standard and didn't roll on flat ground so they passed him.
Let's keep this on topic
Certainly Antique license plates could not be considered on topic in a thread about a 93 model pickup?!
Ehh long story short is I called and asked if it mattered if my doors were on before I came up there, otherwise I'd put em on. They told me no it didn't, no problem. Of course, I get up there and the manager starts bitching at me that I took off the doors because illegal tint. He didn't just say he couldnt pass it, he sat there and literally argued and accused me that my tints were illegal and how I should go get my doors and come up there to try amd pass them. Even asked him why id tint my fronts darker than my hardtop and he was like we both know your fronts are illegal, otherwise you wouldnt have the doors off( on a 70 degree day). I told him I'd go get them and take it somewhere else :flipoff2:
You can't even have tint as dark as your hardtop on the fronts. I can't remember what the percentage is for "legal" front window tint, but it is lighter than you'd think and for some reason, inspection stations have started to be real pricks about this. I'm a bit worried about my Tahoe coming up on inspection in April. The front windows are just as dark as the back ones.
As far as Quicker Sticker goes, that place used to rock. I used to take my camaro there to get it inspected. I would tell the guy that I preferred that he didn't drive my car, and he'd said, "Cool, take me for a ride."
my 04 has the front windows tinted to match the rears. Maybe 20%?? Thye past it no questions Oct 2010
