Typically (not always) 72 trucks came with
Blue and yellow plates
The last digit was K L M N O, sometimes P
71 trucks (usually ) would have ended H I J
73 ended in P or above

Much of this depended what county the truck was originally registered in
I've had 72 trucks registered in a rural counties
That had Black and yellow plates ending in J
(Most likely because that DMV office didn't use up their commercial plates as fast as a DMV in a populated county would)
Hence, why most 72's came with BLUE and ended with K or greater

Solid information.

I've always figured dad didn't re register the 68 until he had to. Hence the black J plate on it.
I finally quit looking for a pair and got a personalized black plate.
Also seems like for hire commercial trucks. Began with a single letter where a pickup ends with a letter.
