They call the "Retro Plates", or something like that.
So, they are not as cool as original black plates.

Same colors. But they have seven letters/numbers plus a 1/2 space
anywhere you want to place it.

Already, I couldn't get C10. But CI0 was available.
So, I snagged them.

Man! Thanks for posting colgad.

When I looked up, I saw that my "Premium" subscription to the Forum had run out.
Best $25 I spend every year. Been doin' it for a lot of years.

So, I guess I could say that today I put the plates on *and* got the truck info set up for the next year.

Man, I like those plates wish G.A. came out with something like that (lol). I went thru scurried the Internet for a nice year specific 71 plate, found one and ended up finding out I couldn't use it on my truck because u have to be 70 back to use as a tag on back go figure, so I put it on the front

Played around with this 9'stepper again today.
I figured I'd pull all four wheels too check those brakes but i started banging out the rear fenders. They were pretty much smashed flat on the top. I wanted too check all the brakes out.but it was ovious I needed too clean all the mud and gunk before anything.
Out came a barrowed pressure washer (kid burned mine up)
Lil " scrapping and got pretty wet but the mounds of crap are gone.
Finished the day clr ing the ds rear fender it was the last part that needed it.
Tommarow when it's all dry out there I'll get too them brakes.

I'm debating getting them for my '72. Not sure if it's worth it, since we'll be leaving the state within the next five years.

But I'm gonna have to do something. Currently have no front plate, and the rear one is so damaged it's almost unreadable. No tickets yet, but been pulled over with warnings twice already.
