The question is are they all 50 state emissions legal or do I get have to get a Ca truck.

The 2005s all have 50-state emissions, but earlier trucks had one of several different emissions pkgs. For '99 thru 2002, there were at least two distinct emissions pkgs - the 49-state and the CA. But the CA emissions pkg was required in a few New England states, and was optional in "cross-border" states such as NV and OR. So the so-called 49-state emissions pkg was valid in a lot less than 49 states, but the term stuck from the '60s, I guess.
I don't keep up with the crazy CARB requirements, but if you have lived there more than a month or so I'll bet you cannot register a vehicle that doesn't have CA emissions controls. Talk to your DMV before you buy a non-CA pickup.
