Geoff Weeks Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 If you look at pictures of the real old days, you'll see many lic plates on one truck. Then came the "bingo stamp" plate that had places for state issued stickers for each state. So you no longer need full size plates for each state, just that states "bingo stamp" Today (I think, been out of it for a coupla years) Alaska is the only state or province that is not part of IRP, so trucks going to Alaska will have two lic plates, one from their home state and one from Alaska. You can travel between the US and Canada under IRP plates. There are other requirements, but registration wise the IRP is valid in both countries. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when they instruct you to fill in where it " axes " weights and such.

wingrider Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Gotta love this screwed up state. Got a letter today saying that they will not issue a title until an inspection of the VIN tag takes place by one of their inspectors. They have clear pictures of everything, so this is always frustrating. Half tempted to pull the door off, and bring that to them. 😡 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 This is a normal problem.. When I went from a Vermont antique registration to a South Carolina title on my 49 Diamond T 201, I had to do the same thing.. Made an appointment and the girl came out took a look at the VIN plate on the cowl and took a picture on HER phone.. She did not ask to see the number stamped in the the frame and I DID NOT suggest it to her!!!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingrider Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 I knew this was going to give me some trouble…almost looks like it was scratched out. Does anyone know what size number die set they would have used on these tags?

Freightrain Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Naw, looks like something was drug out of the cab and scraped it. When I bought my 64 galaxie2 dr from out of state I had to take to a dealership and have them check the VIN. Car was not running, it was a PITA but it passed and I got a clear OH title. Another story, was going to take my ATV to Hocking hills to ride with a group. You have to have a state sticker and insurance. When I bought it new in 99 it didn't have a title. I had to load it and take to dealership for inspection. They didn't even come out and look at it, just stamped paperwork. Then go to state license bureau and they have to do it again(they never went out to look at it either). What a PITA for nothing. I get to park and they didn't inspect it either to confirm I had sticker and insurance. What a joke. All that for one trip, never been back. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post mowerman Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 Yeah, you won’t have any trouble with that plate. Good luck. I had a 64 Ford pick up clean title. I just got brand new plates and tags. I got stopped the same day. I couldn’t imagine what I have could’ve been the problem. The cop was laughing when he was walking up to my truck and he said, I thought you were trying to hide the plate a leave had blown perfectly right where the sticker is and was sitting there. I was laughing too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wingrider Posted Friday at 04:30 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 04:30 PM Well, pulled the door off thinking I was going to bring the whole thing in, when I looked and saw that I could unscrew the plate from the door. So I pulled it off, and will just take the plate into the dmv inspection. Funny enough, they sent me the plates for it despite no title. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 67RModel Posted Friday at 06:15 PM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 06:15 PM You know the model and serial number is stamped into the outside face of passenger side frame rail somewhere between the leaf spring hangers? If you need to utilize that one. Theres always the possibility that the door was changed and the tag on the door doesn't match the truck. Doubtful but always a slim possibility until verified. I would think the stamping in the frame rail would be the real one if there was a discrepancy. Just an FYI.... 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingrider Posted Saturday at 12:06 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 12:06 AM Yes, have a printed picture of the stamp in the frame that I will take along with the tag. One could argue that the tag is illegible, but when you see those numbers on the frame, they match up pretty darn well. I put the door on last night, because we have severe wind here today, and no tarp would have stayed on. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74800-my-1959-b61t-restorationmodification-build-thread/page/9/#findComment-566757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
