Re: Roll call... 1962's!

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.
