It will depend upon the state you live in. Here in Utah, if it came with a cat from the factory, you have to have one on and functioning.
I am thinking something like 1975 was the first year
and the size of the truck. 1/2 tons had to have them 3/4ton & up didn't.Quote:

Or you could do like some folks have done when they had to get it inspected or tested , gut one to make it appear it has one on it. But several companies do make small hi-performance ones nowadays.
