Do you have to renew it yearly?

[leddzepp]

Yes, normal annual registration. No added/special fees, no driving limitations, no smog inspection (pre-76).

First off is my most prized plate, the original 67 plate from when my great grandfather bought the truck brand new in 67. I'll probably leave it in it's current condition, though I have considered clearing over it for protection. This one will go on the wall on my shop as the centerpiece for the display of my other plates.

Next, we have the two plates my wife bought me for my birthday a few years back, a 67, and a 78 NC Farm Truck plate, one for each of my trucks.

I'm currently running the 78 plate on my dually

I have several other old plates that I'm going to try my hand at restoring to make as wall hangers. My father in law has the bathroom in his house bordered all the way around with old plates.

It would match up to the plate and plate frame well. Maybe next year.

Just waiting on DMV's approval on my new set... hopefully will be in time for Rene's party the process was fairly painless besides the difficulty of finding commercial plates with a 72 sticker on em!

Just registered my rebuilt K20 and put a YOM plate into use (same style as my K5 above):

Looks great!

[BigPhil]

so I just bought a in plastic 67 louisiana plate. I cant seem to find out online if I can register this plate. I figured for 10 bucks I could just put it on the front if they wont let me use it as the main plate

Here's one on my GTO. Found them as a set on eBay a several years ago with some rust on it. Sanded it down and repainted. Masking the numbers and letters was the hardest part.

Before and after originals... they actually are flawless now. Just hard to tell from the small pics

[special-K]

Farm truck tags '72 k2500 ('72 sticker on back) and a set of '71 Virginia truck tags I just picked up in case someone in VA needed some. Years ago (before they let you use YOMs) I bought a set of unissued '72 Virginia truck tags for a show truck I had. I'm probably going to move there in the next few years,so finally they will suit my truck. I just wish they said TH400-383 because that's where I'm headin' with that truck

I think you scored good Mr. Randle ,a fair deal is always a good deal ..

Some California Plates....

[jhama78]

Here's mine, these were the original plates my grandfather put on the truck in 66 when he bought it. They were removed in 68 and stored on a shelf in his garage until a few years ago when he put them back on the truck.

I of course registered them back to the truck once I bought it from my grandmother. (pay no attention to the 80s step bumper and the DeeZee tailgate guard. They are both slated to be replaced/ removed in the near future )

I wouldn't mind finding a set in a little better shape at some point but for now I can deal with the patina.

Here's mine. I didn't know much about these until I saw this thread. I can't use it here in Ontario but it will look good at car shows.

[passthebuck]

Here's my Ontario YOM plates that I registered today & I'll bolt on tomorrow.

[Kennuck]

Nice passthebuck. How do you go about getting YOM plates in Ontario?

Thank you! & Yes they are. I have yet to see any YOM plates on other vehicles since I moved here this past summer. I hope to start a movement!

Prior to my departure from Manitoba, I picked up two sets of YOM plates for my 67s. You can't use them on the road, but I got them for LCF at shows or cruise-in's. The T (for truck) plate is rare because they lived hard lives & are typically beaten to death. The EX plates are car plates. On both, the purple 67 tag made the 64 plates legal for that year.
