What do i need to register a 1976 truck and will it have to pass emissions?

At least in the state of Maryland, any vehicle 20 years of age or older can be tagged historic, which means they do not need to pass emissions or inspection. They're are certain rules that apply, some states require one vehicle per person on the insurance before a vehicle can be tagged historic. Other benefits include lower tags and insurance. Any vehicle over 25 years can be tagged AS ANTIQUE, BUT both of these types of tagging may have mileage and day limitations.
