Re: show your front license plates

I've run various "Clemson" tags, John Deere, Earnhardt, and most recently I'm back to running a matching YOM plate on the front. SC used to require front/back plates so it's easy to find a YOM set.

Thumbs up Re: show your front license plates

I had a 305 TPI unit in the truck when I had this one. I haven't changed tags yet for the LS swap.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: show your front license plates

You guys in states other than California are lucky to be able to run your cool plates; here in California I have twice now gotten ticketed (on different cars) for a missing front plate.

For example if you park in the San Francisco Bart lots to ride the subway to work, or park at the San Francisco airport, the Cops routinely patrol those lots looking for cars with no front license plate.. the fine is easy money; so they keep doing it.

I'm not dissing the Cops at all though - the policy does makes sense - for example in case it's a stolen plate on the back and the front one doesn't match. We'd want them to check that, right? and they do make a point of it even for the cars they pull over for traffic stops you may notice them walk to the front and look.. Perhaps learned the hard way over the years 'cause it would be pretty embarrassing not to catch a mismatched set of plates.

Here in Alberta Canada we only run one plate. The back one. If you choose to run a "Year of Manufacture" plate on the front, the number must be registered to your title as well or we get a ticket.

I think the bridge tolls collection might use the front plate too. If you don't have the transponder, fastrak, they take pictures of your plates and look you up. I'm not sure if they use front or back or both. I wonder what they do with out of state plates?

The one that got away, probably my favorite front plate I've ever seen. A friend of mine has it now, he got the truck with it

Re: show your front license plates

On mine I do not need to run a front plate, so currently I have none - but I see a lot of the "Chevrolet, the Heartbeat of America" ones up around here.

This was on the truck when I bought it and I just never removed it, I kinda like it and have thought about leaving it on there, not sure yet though.
