1 ton
Photo
1.5 ton
mo2cyl
John Milliman
Ur2slo
2 ton
mo2cyl
Jason, 2 plates
Kelvin
Grigg 2 plates
Fredrico
Randy
RT 1
Topcat
Scott w/48 2 ton
The price should be about $15 including shipping. I have to go see about the cost of shipping and some sturdy shipping envelopes. Please understand I am not doing this to make money, but I don't want it to cost me anything either. I am going to add up all the cost and divide by the number of plates. So far just the plates is just under $12.

We'll need your address to send the money to when you decide on the total cost.

I guess if guys have it, I could do that, or a check. I am not too concerned about guys ripping me for less than $20. That would just be pitiful. I can get rolling on the mailing in the next day or two. I am going to cut up some card stock to protect the plates in mailing today, and make sure they are secure.

The site is: http://www.mongosgarage.com/catalog/BigBoltVin.htmThanks a lot Mongo.Glad you are on the side of truth and justice. Your knowledge is all powerful. :P The breakdown of the cost is printing $10.34 Shipping and packaging should be 3.00 (unless you live in somefar away land) total $13.34 For sanity sake (mine) round up to $15.00 Morning off work to pick them..... pricelesss.

It would be nice to have the VIN match the engine serial number for a change. Problem is that the truck is titled as a 1950, the cab is a 1952 3/4 ton, and the engine is re-man 1954. It's actually a 1 ton, and I don't remember what the GVW is.

The only notation for the heavier rating that is different is under the heading "Required R.P.O. Equipment" and says "Above plus two stage", and I don't know what that refers to.

I'm finally home from work and have received the new plate. Lovely work!
I wish I would have known about the 2 weights for a 1 ton earlier (8800 lbs or 10000 lbs) as I would rather have the larger number on my truck.
