It's clear to me the truck has a fake ''movie'' plate on the front. It's a car plate: ABC 123. In Cali in that period, all light duty pickups were required to have a commercial license plate [10 566 A] unless they had a camper top or cap on the bed. Also movie plates were a very saturated blue shade to show up better under photographic lighting. They are obvious to the naked eye on the street.
But you'll never notice it in a chase scene clip.
Well 67/68 was still black plate as well. My 68 was from Cali originally and still had the original black plates in the commercial format.

Last summer I did some "extra" work for a movie with both of my 68's. On some of the cars they stuck those fake plates on them. Kinda comical because they really stood out in person next to cars with original plates.
