That sucks... Personally I like the look of no plate. Much cleaner look imo.

Cool I got one too

Nice truck, I have one as well. My Dad bought it off the showroom in 95. He really liked that one and didn't treat it like he did his others. About 6 months after he passed away of cancer back in may 08, I flew out to Idaho to find it because he wanted me to have it. I found it in an over grown field with flat tires, mice living in strange places under the hood and more wasps than I care to think about. I know it had been sitting there for a year or more but you know what? It started right up. I drove it out of the tall grass, pumped up the tires and drove it a few miles to get some gas. I had a mechanic give it a simple tune up and replace all fluids then I drove it all the way back to Georgia. I am restoring the truck back to original condition, I think he would have liked that. Does yours have the wood trim as well?
