Custom Tailgate License Plate
I will be making a custom bumper for my 67 fleetside. I was wondering if any one had an idea for relocating the license plate to the tailgate with out having it look like a 90's mini truck.

Re: Custom Tailgate License Plate
I think that look was so over saturated in the mini truck world there is no way you could pull it off without hearing the words mini truck. That being said, as long as you like the look of it, that's all that matters. As long as you steer clear of angling it sideways, that's a staple of the mini truck scene!

Re: Custom Tailgate License Plate
What are you thinking of for a bumper?

Another idea would be to do the same, but offset the plate to the left, then on the right, find a donor tailgate, cut the letters up, and reuse the "C" and "O", along with one of the other letters modified to be the "1", and spell out C10 to the right. But to be honest, I'd probably just recess a box in the pan in the center, to keep with the Camaro bumper theme. Or even do a retractable plate that tucks behind the bumper when you aren't driving. I know of a few guys that are running motorized versions of those up front in front plate states.

Re: Custom Tailgate License Plate
I have a full roll pan and just used a SS hinge to mount the plate.....the string in the cab pulls the plate up for the toll highway and such....
The front plate I bull dog glued 6 of these bad a55 magnets to hold it anywhere... http://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-N50-S...-/191430292403

Re: Custom Tailgate License Plate
If you have a hitch receiver, you could make a plate mount that slides into the receiver with a trailer plug for the license plate light.
