When I lived in Missouri, I just took the paperwork down to the DMV and waited in line for 2 hours and they issued the plates. I do know that when I brought my 47 3/4 ton into Nebraska (from Missouri), and a 1963 1/2 ton (from California) and a 1967 Ford (from Kansas), all they looked at was the cab plates. My 47 was missing the plate so I had to get another before the "inspection". I stamped the number on the title into the plate - it din't match the motor, but MIGHT have matched the original cab. I THINK the 63 also had the number hand stamped above the driver's door, in the frame.
