I run a frame that says "Built Not Bought" because people think I have money and I built this truck by hand from two framerails up!

On my car I have 116 because that's the license plate my Dad had on it in Saskatchewan in 1969. But we (WA State) can't get collector plates with custom content, which is unfortunate.

My best advice is not to duplicate what the truck already says (like putting "SS 396" on a Camaro that says that on the side already).

Most people can't tell what years these are (as evidence by people that tell me their Dad had a truck just like mine, except it was a 1956 and it was a Ford) so having the year is nice.
