Re: 1969 C10 LWB - "The Green Truck" - Miranda

Thanks all!

Small update here - especially cool for California guys:

We have a license plate program here in CA called the "Year of Manufacturer" program (often just called "YOM"). It allows for certain years of vehicles (up to 1972 for commercial, so our trucks just squeak in) to be re-assigned an era-correct license plate.

This lets those of us with the interest go out and find a set of correct plates. So that's what I did.

Trouble is - you end up with an extra sticker. The yellow/black California license plates are, for the most part, stamped with the '63' in the upper right. If this is the case (as it is with mine) you have to have the base year sticker in the upper left (see photo below - its the tan sticker on the left side of the bottom plate).

DMV sends you these 'sticker wells' that you are supposed to put on the upper right of the plate - but they are really flippin' ugly (top right of top plate, red arrow pointing at it).

Some internet searching lead me to this guy:

http://www.oldplateguy.com/

He has this frame, that can go on either direction, with two built in wells. Price was fair and shipping was fast. It's likely other places make something like this - but I didn't find any in my searches so thought I would share this for the CA guys on here.
