What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
There are four holes and the remnants of rivets in them in my door jamb. What do you suppose was mounted there? It's a 1968 shortbed 2wd.

Re: What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
Noting to color, It’s possible that it was a feet truck, so it may have been a maintenance record plate.

Re: What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
Unfortunately the SPID was removed by a previous owner and the seat was replaced so there is no build sheet.

Re: What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
Maybe it was a CalTrans truck like this one. It is the right color.

Re: What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
Being a CalTrans truck might also explain why my truck has blue/yellow plates from 71/72 instead of black/yellow plates from 68. It might have had exempt plates that had to be replaced when the truck was sold.

Re: What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
I'm missing the second one down, the GM certification plate. The rivets are there. What's up with that?

Re: What Is This Missing Plate Below The VIN Plate
68s had those 2 plates. 71/72 didn’t. Not sure about 67 or 69.
