Don't lose those clutch head screws that hold it on and don't clean it up or "restore" it. In fact you should put it back on the truck where you found it before you lose it.
In many states it's illegal to remove those ID plates. There is a case of a fully restored early 60s Corvette being sent to the crusher by the state (Oklahoma? Nebraska? I forget) because the owner removed and restored the plate and attached it with incorrect fasteners calling into question the legality of ownership.
