burbluv · 02-02-2011, 11:20 PM

Here is a shot of my 1/2 ton 4x4 burb.
I just got it a few weeks ago and
I might be selling the newly powder coated grill, front bumper and rear bumper. It depends if I can find another decent 62 grill to chrome.
So if you are interested just hit me up.

Now that's a nice one! Like the original colors. And hubcaps to boot!

62ShortStep · 04-04-2011, 02:26 PM

Even the STP sticker is NOS...

Surfdaddy · 04-04-2011, 04:08 PM

62Short Step. Did you get a repro plate or did it come that way. If you got the repo plate were you able to get the 62 on the date in the right corner? Very cool truck!!!

62ShortStep · 04-04-2011, 04:31 PM

The plate is a real '56 with a '62 tag. The truck is registered with that plate under the California YOM program. The plate was added recently.

Surfdaddy · 04-04-2011, 04:50 PM

The orig owner of my truck changed the plate out in 64 for what reason we don't know. I was told he was thinking about changing the hood at the same time so he could update the truck and make it look like a newer model. Maybe it was easier to get the plate than to spend the 25 bucks for a hood and have it painted. I looked into getting the repro plate but at 100 bucks a pop and the potential problem with the DMV I decided not to do anything yet. Maybe I'll see if I can find some plates later.

62ShortStep · 04-04-2011, 05:40 PM

Good thing you didn't go with the repop...DMV would have never gone for that (I've done this YOM thing several times).

If your truck is a '61, you must have a pair of matching '56 commercial plates and one 61 sticker. Plates must be legible and in good shape, mint or restored is not required.

'56 plates with a '62 sticker are fairly easy to find because they changed to black plates in '63. All the 56/62's were tossed or hung on the wall.

56 plates with 61 stickers are tough because the 61 stickers were peeled off to make room for the 62 stickers. Only a small group of plates were actually retired in 61.

If you can get a 61 sticker, and a pair of 56 plates (with or without stickers of any year), then you can pull this off.

My commercial plates begins with 'Y'. The letter 'Y' is late in the alphabet and would have been issued late in the 1956 plate series (like around 1962

). You don't have to be as anal as me about the plate number...any 56 plate will do.

Surfdaddy · 04-04-2011, 05:53 PM

No, I am as anal as you.

I would look for the number that is period correct for my year. That's why I was looking toward the repro plates as an easy way out. But nothing is easy. I'll look at pamona and around to see if I can find something. Since I'm going to be as factory as I can I'll take some time to see what I can find out. It's little things like plates, hub caps, knobs and levers that make a difference.

62ShortStep · 04-04-2011, 06:08 PM

ebay usually has '56 plates.

This will search all craigslists (searches by ad content, not title). Type your key words into the Google search box and add this exactly as shown here:
site:craigslist.org

I would try the professional plate dealers/collectors for the 61 sticker.

Good luck.

Surfdaddy · 04-04-2011, 06:12 PM

The other site for craigslist is craiglook.com. It has pretty much the same search, nation wide, or x number of miles from your zip.

62ShortStep · 04-04-2011, 06:22 PM

I never tried craiglook.com...interesting.
