Don't trust forum in legal aspects as even with honest replies, you always find too many variations.
In CA all diesels below 14,000lb GWVR 1998 or newer need smog.
All the rest is exempt.
The exempt year for older gasoline engines keeps on moving every few years, so it is 1975 today, but next year it MIGHT be 1980.
Go to dmv.ca.gov and check yourself.
