i do plan on hauling with the truck mainly just for my own use won't be used for a business or anything like that but mainly just hauling cars or the occasionaly load of scrap iron farm plates would work but i would like to be able to drive the truck out of the state
Keith,
i could get ahold of plates for '63 year but i need ones for a 2 ton truck i don't think i could take 63 plates off a 63 1/2 ton and slap them on a 63 2 ton but then again i'm not really sure how that works
thanks for all the help guys

Best thing you can do is look up the laws concerning the use & restrictions for collector vehicles in your state & then call the DMV & ask a few pointed questions. In WA if you register as a collector vehicle, the only thing you can haul is butt, I wanna use it to haul my hot rod & the occasional odd things, hence why I registered mine regularly. However I had to get a commercial registration due to the gross tonnage and that kinda hurt. Better yet was the insurance, most copmpanies I talked to wouldn't insure something like my beast & I eneded up getting business insurance through Farmers. It's not bad, but could be better. Good thing is I can haul whatever I want, for myself or for profit, and my truck AND the load are covered.
Been a real headache, but once it's done & overwith, not such an issue.
As for the plates, truck plates are truck plates in most states. Another question for the DMV.
