My brother has just found a 1977 plate for me, and he claims I can use this plate on my truck and register it as a "classic."

Anyone know anything about this?

 

thats a good question, i don't see why you couldn't use the plate, put new tags on it, thats assuming no one else has the number off the plate.

 

Does this plate have the validation stickers on it ?


I just registered my 77 for the road but I have 3 sets of the 198? plates I already OWNED ..that I could use.

No problem with them.

However,Because those 1977 plates are Yellow
I would say NO to the 77 plates.

Even an Antique has to have the present style plates on it.

You can put the 77 Yellow plate on the front without a problem though.

EDIT:

Does anyone have a plate in good shape from 1948. I'm looking for one for my truck.

 

Well with the Red Deer swap meet coming up soon in May , I can always buy you one and mail it to you if you send me some money.

any particular numbers you want.




BTW, I sold an Orange 1950 to some guy from Grande Prairie back in about 1995, ever see that truck ?

 

I'll keep my eye out for the plate. Let me know how much and I will gladly send you the money. I am actually hopping on going down to the swap meet but just in case I can't make it I'd rather have a backup plan, that is if it wouldn't be a hassle.

How long you been in Innisfail? I went to college in Olds and lived in Didsbury and know a few fellers from Innisfail that I went to school with. Also know a few folks from Rimbey area too.

I kinda wished I lived in southern Alberta...closer to the old iron. Would make my build a heck of a lot easier for sure.

 

I moved here in November 2003.

The Edmonton swap meet will have plates vendors there as well.

I usually hunt for the inexpensive guys/gals that sell them..

 

Any idea when either of these swap meets are or where I can get details?

Thanks

Thanks-A-Mil1ion!

 

Well, im hoping a can get to the Red Deer one in May, i missed the last unfortunately. BTW, if anyone find a 1966 or 1965 (or both) I would gladly take one. Im in Olds now, but middle of May at the end of school I will be back North past Grande Prairie.

Thanks, Craig.

 

What condition do you want it ?

 

Usable would be excellent, but I would take just about any. What price do they generally go for?

 

Too bad you're not looking for a 69 plate, I have one that is brand new (not like new, brand new) I've had it since I was a kid. Just thought it was cool as the number on the plate is SA-00-00 or "say ohhhh" is the way I look at it.

What kind of issues can a person expect to be critiqued when I go to get the truck registered, what will be looked at when the vehicle inspection is done.
