![]() Actually I ordered my bed mat from a local 4x parts store. They were able to purchase the mat and had it delivered to them all for only $50-60; that's right $50-60. Most mats that I priced were over $100 plus shipping but thanks to my wife (b-day gift) she picked this up for me so I didn't scratch my recent investment. Let me see if I can locate the info on the mat, and I will get it to you. And don't think that since the price is cheap that the mat is the same way... after cutting it down to fit the SWB (originally a LWB mat) it still has me huffing and puffing when I pull it back out. Let me know if you have any other questions about the build, the site, MO car shows, etc. BTW, we have several meet and greets throughout the state, and would love to have you make one. Keep posted to the thread in my signature for 2010 dates. Cheers! Nate

Re: Project: Blank Slate

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Was finally able to do a small update to the '69 this winter... simple but cool IMO.
From this... To this... legal and documented. ![]()

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Well it's kind of in storage as of October.... with the "salty" weather we have in the winter, it hasn't gotten any farther than the concrete pad outside the garage door.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Thanks a lot guy's! I've been sitting on this plate for several months just waiting for the numbers to open up and yesterday was my lucky day.
Quote:
Keep posted on the events happening in MO this year, would be great to have you attend one. No real significances to the plate Geoff... I had been searching for one back last summer and ran across this one that read 669-272. I thought well heck 69-72 is pretty neat so why not. I had the plate shipped from NC or GA if I recall correctly, and since plates were used on a yearly basis is was only active for 12 months. It was in real nice shape so on the truck it went.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate, that plate just added more personality to your sweet ride, good job!
Did you get the set? Here in Cali you have to have the set in order to register them for your classic.... ![]() |

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Actually during that era, they only issued one plate for the vehicles. Now I'm keeping an eye out for a nice looking plate for the front... not sure what I'm going to end up with though. Original USA-1, custom made plate to match the rear plate, who knows.
There's a few more updates for this build but those will come with time...

Re: Project: Blank Slate
That plate really adds to the character of your truck. Do you think you can get away without running a matching plate on the front of the truck? When I lived in Missouri, I drove a 87 IROC-Z (no, I didn't have a mullet). I installed a new front fascia and refused to drill holes for a license plate. It seemed like I got pulled over every other month for not having a front license plate. Come to think of it, I got pulled over for a lot of things in that car, but I digress...

Ha, ha! You and I probably met the same people! I never got a ticket either, but it really ticked off some officers.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Not sure quite yet... but it's on my mind. I do have an interior upgrade to put together and install.

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Nate, I'm dying to see your new plates, but for some reason for the last couple of weeks your pics won't show up on our computer???
I've had the same plate issues, I ran without a front plate on my truck for a couple years until I got my '72 plates and never got pulled over. A few years ago I had a hammered bright red '99 Sonoma without a front plate (because I didn't want to drill holes) and I got pulled over all the time for it. It also chapped the police that the rear plate was in the back window, it had a smooth roll pan. ![]()

Re: Project: Blank Slate
Bummer Chris... I'm not sure if I'm doing something different. I don't believe I am, but I'll look into it. My camera settings are the same as they were, and I'm loading the pics up to the board from the 'advanced' side of my posts.
I can understand why the LEO's want to see the plates, but... ![]()

Re: Project: Blank Slate
I can still see your pics Nate.
Do you use Photobucket? My work blocks Photobucket,... so I miss alot of pics when I'm on the board at work. Chris,... maybe your internet provider has some type of new filter.
