USA-1 plates by year? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MrGoodpliers · 09-01-2011, 07:35 AM

I thought this would make a good thread. Please post pics of the different USA-1 and other dealer plates and the years that they are correct for.

gcburdic · 09-01-2011, 09:23 AM

not a USA-1 plate....but here's my "dealer" tag....pretty cool!!!

teeitup · 09-01-2011, 12:44 PM

Not sure years except for the "D" tag, this from my dads chevrolet dealership

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-01-2011, 01:26 PM

I can tell you the slogans. I have the correct one for my 71'.
Here is the 1971 USA1 tag:

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-01-2011, 01:28 PM

1972: Didn't have a USA-1 plate. It was different. I have one of these as well, but don't have a pic right now.

Keith Seymore · 09-01-2011, 01:35 PM

Not sure what year -

stomper · 09-01-2011, 02:16 PM

I'm running a reproduction USA-1 tag on my K5 but I'm sure it's not the correct year. Would like to know what the 'correct' one would be.

Those 1/2 ton locking hub dials look like they are taking up alot of room in that drawer. You should probably send them to me

1969stepside · 09-02-2011, 02:23 AM

putting you first in a big way ment it had a big block didnt it

**special-K** · 09-02-2011, 06:52 AM

In the upper left you can see the '71 USA-1 plate that came on a '71 I had. Near the center is another one I got around 1990. There's also a red GMC Truck one cut up and used to fill in some spots:

**special-K** · 09-02-2011, 08:43 AM

Thanks. For some reason something changed and it won't allow me do that. I tried everything and I think some of those links had the [IMG] at both ends and still only came up as links.

EDIT: You must have broken the spell. It's acting normal again...thanks?

**70cst** · 09-03-2011, 09:31 AM

So which would be period correct for 1970? I'm guessing the years overlapped.

Nope, every year from 68 to 72 are different. Different slogans and 1972 doesn't have a USA-1 tag. 67-68 are the same though. Trevor

Keith Seymore · 09-03-2011, 03:18 PM

Michigan dealer plate for 1965:

Kinda small, but a '63 Michigan dealer plate on the Lemans (the white car):

and - you didn't ask - but here's a Michigan Manufacturer's plate for 1974:

into69z · 09-03-2011, 05:57 PM

anyone have the info for a 69?

CG · 09-03-2011, 08:05 PM

I think the USA-1 plates are cool. I would run one on my truck except up here you would probably get a ticket for not running the correct front plate.

**special-K** · 09-03-2011, 08:16 PM

LOL...My '71 was from a one tag state and I ran it with just the rear for a while,but ended up taking it off. It also looked about how it does now...patina'd

I didn't know they were year-specific.

Classic Parts has several versions of the USA-1 plate. http://www.classicparts.com/License-...oducts/949/1/0

I'd be curious which is which.

I had this one on my Impala in high school and now have one on my 72.

junk4cash · 10-05-2014, 05:03 PM

Anyone have any info on this plate? Found an old one today. Heavy gauge metal and reflective paint on the letters.

**1968C30** · 10-05-2014, 08:48 PM

This plate was on a one owner 1970 C20 I have.

see ten · 10-06-2014, 12:04 PM

JUst because some others have posted some different dealer plates...

And yes... it's a legit stamped/embossed license plate from a dealership... My dad removed it from a vehicle in a junkyard back in the late 70s or early 80s... I've been running it for years. WOuld love to to have another one.
