The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk How was the identification plate fastened to the door pillar?

I bought my 53 3100 truck in California in 1980 from a dealer. Several years later I got pulled over and they noticed the ID plate number did not match the registration. The CHP inspected it for days after work and could not find any numbers on it. They put a California ID plate on it and gave me a new registration. In 1989 I drove it to Indiana and parked it until a year ago. When I went to get a new title California said they had no record of it. I had to see a judge in Indiana to get an Indiana title and registration. The new title has the original ID plate number on it. I am also running original 1951 plates with a 1953 topper.
