Wait until I get the F-4 done (if ever) it's going to make for an impressive picture.
Let me guess what color it will be, ummm, red?

Bob,

Great looking trucks. That red would look good on the 750

Actually, the plate on the panel is suppose to be 20698C. I have the trucks registered as a collector vehicles. When you do that in Wisconsin the owner is assigned a collector number, mine being 20698. My F-2 was my first collector vehicle so the plate number was just 20698. I had a '49 F-1 that was assigned the A plate, then I had a '69 Pontiac ragtop that was assigned the B plate. When I went to register the panel truck I asked if I could use the A plate since I had gotten rid of the F-1 many years ago, the guy at the DMV said I could so I filled out the paper work, got the new registration, entering the A plate number, and bolted plate to the panel. About a month and half later the C plate showed up in the mail. I just haven't gotten around to bolting on the correct plate yet.

BTW, collector plates in Wisconsin are pretty good. There is only a one time fee and they never expire. There are a few restrictions, the vehicle has to be 20 years or older, stock (Although I have seen '57 Ch**ys with narrowed rear ends and blowers, not stock as far as I know), you can't drive during a couple of months in the winter, you must have a daily driver registered at the regular rate and if it's a truck you can only carry 500 pounds. Other than that there are no restrictions on miles or where you can drive.

Oh yeah, it's pretty neat to walk out there and see both of them parked next to each other
Oh stop it Bob, you're breakin' our hearts.. Sorry about the rain, it looks bad on the National news. Hope you're OK up there...
