So, in Montana, there is this thing called collector plates, which means that if your car is more than 30 years old, and you can find plates where the numbers aren't taken, you can use them on your truck. Obviously, I'm going to get '76/'77 plates for my truck. These are what I have to run the numbers on -
I don't know if it's like that in other states, but if it is,
Show me yours!
I'll get pics when I'm back home, we have the same thing but it's 25years or older, either way my 74 clearly fits! I've partially wanted a 76/77 because the bicentennial plate for Indiana is pretty cool. Here's a pic of the bicentennial to hold you over until I can get a pic of my 74 lol

In Florida, if it's a '74 or older model, I can either get collector car plates (if I ever finish the "Pumpkin Project"!) or I can also use plates that are for the year.
In '73 Florida used a different number system than they use now. Back then it was county number first, then an identifier, or not, depending on weight and class of vehicle, then the sequence number.
You can use any tag on any vehicle as long as its the correct year. I looked for one and was fortunate enough to not only find the correct county number (18) but also the correct ID (G/K) for a half ton pickup.
Florida is also a rear plate only state, no front plates.
I know of one SS396 running around that has an "M/H" tag. The owner probably doesn't realize that that's actually a mobile home plate.
And note, Florida tags from back in the day were pretty "bland" and generic .

That is generic at least it's cooler than modern plates!
As Mike has pointed out, these rules vary from state to state. To find out the rules for your state, consult SEMA's Tag and Title toolbox.
In Georgia where I reside, the rule says 1970 or older so my two '76 Ford trucks are not eligible.
However, my '33 Ford powered Chev is eligible so if anyone has a 1933 Georgia tag, please PM me.
Man....I sold a stack of lic plates when I moved about 10 yrs ago. Got 75 bucks for em, but when I see what they're going for now I kick myself. Probably could have gotten 2-3x that.
I had the gold/black 1976 plates on my 76 Cordoba. Prolly should have kept them...they'd look nice on my 76 F150.
Plate was issued to me in 1983 when I was stationed at Ft. Campbell. Let it run out when I was sent overseas, got rid of the car after I returned and ETS'd, kept the plate all these years and earlier this year took it off the wall and registered the '73 with the same number so I could use that plate again.
This is the best pic I have of it right now, sorry about that.
Here's a funny one. My '87 Volvo wagon is what I'd consider "early" or "American", yet the state of CT considers it to be...
