Im not 'in the know' enough to say for sure.

I would say that is the original plate for your truck.

That would be a correct plate for a '70, and if DMV just treated it like a regular plate then it's a plate that was originally attached to the truck in 1970, though not necessarily the first plate that has ever been on the truck. The month sticker is interesting though, it looks like it's white letters on red maybe? I've only ever seen hashed red on white (original issue month stickers) and blue on white which is the current month stickers, there is also black on white 1" square month stickers for the first couple of years of blue and yellow motorcycle plates.

That month sticker was from the early 2000's.
The plate was non-opp'd, then the owner before me re-instated it.
They gave him a new month sticker.

Id imagine the same will go for mine....whenever the reg shows up.... 6 months later.

Interesting, when I look for it in google images I only see the hashed red on whites and blue on whites, nothing for California with white letters.

Wow.... I think someone put another states month tag on here....
Maybe to "further" their California Reg period?

Wow....

Truth be told, in my younger days I drove a truck around in California for 2 years with Alabama plates with month stickers in both corners, didn't get a ticket, well until I did.
