I have a 1973 Ford Ranger I was wondering where I could find a checklist of safety? My friend bought a Ford Ranger 1973 and he would get it legalized but Im wondering if its going to need a lot more work then he thinks. I want to know about the catalytic converter, he absolutely have to be from 1973?

9. Security Guards or Flaps (if four or more tires on the rear axle)
10. Exhaust

no catalytic converter on the truck at the time. It is very basic and should be easy to legal road.
In vehicles in North Carolina over 20 years do not need cats to pass, I suggest you local machine shop and watching the inspection standards, and you can go to community college to train for inspector.
