If you're not planning to use it as a daily driver, just put QQ plates and classic insurance on it and be done with it. If you want to DD the truck, you'll have to make it pass the sniffer test. From the bit of reading I did online, '86 Chevy trucks didn't have the CCC carb and electronic distributor, like what was in passenger cars. They just had a regular conventional carb with a vacuum advance distributor. So in theory, if you put a good cat in the exhaust and make sure the carb is dialed in right, you ~might~ be able to pass a sniffer test.
