Heed Shaffer's warning, Ron. Talk to the people in charge at the registration office and follow their instructions to the letter. Don't attach anything you gin up yourself or your truck might also end up in the crusher.
If it were as easy as just buying a repop plate, punching some numbers on it, and bolting it to your door frame, collector car theft would be through the roof.
There was a recent high profile case of a man in Kansas who restored a '59 Corvette.
The VIN plate was removed and reattached with the wrong hardware. The state seized the car and it was sent to an impound lot to be crushed. The owner fought for 6 years to get his car back. Meanwhile it sat outside falling apart. The FBI sided with the owner , agreeing that the car was not stolen.
Under Kansas law, that didn't matter. Removal of the plate was explicitly prohibited by law.
Eventually the state passed a new law exempting restoration projects but it was too late for this guy. He spent $30k in legal fees trying to get his car back. The car suffered nearly $30k in damage sitting outside at the impound yard for 6 years.
