But a crew cab in place of the regular cab.
I'm with this, a crew cab would be a nice upgrade if you could swing it.

the tc life, I doubt they would bother you if you have out of state plates. My suggestion would be to simply ignore stopping at the scales. My bet is that most people in California with a flatbed and a TC do not even know the law exist.
Be careful what you wish for. Most states eventually follow California's led, good, bad, or indifferent.

lol amen there. washington is a northern california. i thought about that..playing dumb about having to stop. should not be hard for me.
to the op....you are going to be posting pictures with what you do right? pretty please.

how about a 12' flatbed on it? maybe a bit longer? we love having a porch on ours.
guy i got it from said same thing.. is 14ft from cab to end of frame..only thing is in michigan flat beds are considered commercial..
In California, you can get passenger car license and mount the TC. You cannot use it to haul anything else. With a standard pickup bed, with Commercial plates, you do not have to stop as scales. Any bed other than a pickup bed and you are required to stop.
Years ago I used flatbed trucks for my TCs. I had a 12-foot bed with a 8-foot TC, and eventually a 10-foot TC. I also had truck with a 14-foot bed with a 12-foot TC. They were great for the type of camping I did at the time, all boondocking. In my opinion, with the exception of having to stop at scales with the Commercial license, the flatbed is my favorite bed.

thank you for giving me another reason to tell my wife why i want to stay out of that state. she is from there and would like to visit again sometime. id actually like to go to the redwoods. i wonder...can i get a route avoiding the scales? hmmmmm.

Oh so many options with the capacity.
Glad I'm down here in the south. I can put the same "truck" tag that is on my pickup on something as large as a semi with no problem even though it isn't a commercial specific tag. Funny thing is I often see the same "truck" tag on cars, because it is required to park in loading zones downtown Charleston.
