My brother-in-law got that many years ago (1990ish?) on one of his business trips to Cape Canaveral. He gave it to me as a gift. It sat unmounted in my stash of good stuff until recently.

I looked at RonJon's site and they don't have any frames currently listed in their catalog.

( http://www.ronjonsurfshop.com/souven...nirs/auto.aspx )

Maybe one might pop up on eBay, that's all I can suggest.

I'm not a big RonJon fan cuz it's east coast surf stuff but I like the look of it on my truck so there it sits.

Re: Jim's 1969 Custom/20

CALIFORNIA YOM PLATES

I decided to give myself a Christmas treat this year and got these vintage unrestored yellow on black plates for my truck. After many months of searching, I finally found what I wanted on eBay earlier this month. Today, Christmas Eve, I went to the DMV and registered them in acordance with the California YOM (Year Of Manufacture) program ( http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/reg_hdbk/ch21/ch21_36.htm ).

They look a hell of a lot better than the current style plates, and they emphasize the classic looks of this truck. It's 1969 all over again !
