Getting custom plates made. Got a name?

So tomorrow i am going up to order new tabs and get some custom plates. And what i have for names is GRSMJNS GruesomeJeans, or THEHULK self explanatory. I like both of these but i figured before i make the deal i would see if there is anything else cool. I tried GRNMCHN but it was taken i also tried TGM also gone. So if anyone has anything better/funnier make a suggestion and i might just do it.

Here was mine on the '78



But I am getting antique plates on the '79 so I am hoping I will be able to get 79BKO.
You can only have 5 digits on antique plates here. Right now it is available.

Thats actually a really good idea... I didn't even think of that, I might go with it then. Turns out i do HAVE to send in the check and paper work via mail instead of having the DOL do it. So i have to sort my money and get a check wrote and send it out.

My favorite Bronco plate is "BUCKIN" but here in Texas it is already taken.

Ya Buckin isn't bad, if i lived in a more "Cowboy" type area that would be good. Most people don't even know that i drive a bronco, they usually call it a Blazer. I just wish the plates would come embossed... From what i know they are made flat.

Haha, that'd be awesome.


I like 78BRNCO.


I've often thought about getting some for my Broncos.

STR8SIX
81STR8 6 (A little more confusing, but it'd let me put "84STR8 6" on my other one)
or BIG RED

STR8SIX is probably my favorite though.


On a separate note, three of my favorites (non-Bronco related) that I've seen locally were:

I think one of the better two I've seen (non Bronco related) were:

VEHICLE
LCNSPLT
TI 3VOM (On the front of a hopped up Mustang. Think of seeing it in your rear view mirror).

This drives me crazy. The worst perpetrator of it was a guy I used to work with who drove an F-150 with a straight six in it. Granted, it was just "some truck" to him, so he could care less.

Ya it kills me to see it but i see a lot of people that drive both f-series and broncos that see them as "just a A-B vehicle" Most of them are not taken care of and make me think the person diving the vehicle is stupid.

All the new plates are flat. If you get an older plate to register on your truck it would be stamped, but then you wouldn't have a custom tag.

I think a good one for TGM would be:

HLK SMSH

hlk smsh is pretty good, i wish grnmchn would have worked... Oh well.

I just checked and HLK SMSH won't work but HLKSMSH works The space counts as a character. Anyways that one is cool to. Man there is a lot of cool ones it is hard to choose one. Thanks guys. I am still a ways from sending the paper now, things have come up infront of it. I wish i could to a classic plate but those can only be used here for going from show to show not for every day use. Otherwise i would have gotten one already. Oh well, i can always take a whack at stamping my own plate haha

Do they allow for 8 letters? I didn't think any states did.
