That reminds me of International Loadstar series trucks in the early =
sixties. The serial number plate was screwed to the driver's door and =
sometimes the GVW space was left blank. You may say that wasn't a very =
secure or permanent location but the serial number was also stamped onto =
the left frame rail, just below where the steering box was bolted on. =
Internationals were real component trucks (like most medium duty trucks) =
with just about everything sourced from outside manufacturers. Unless =
you had a copy of the line settting ticket, it could be a challenge to =
figure out what parts to select when doing a major repair.

I don't have real strong feeling one way or the other on re-doing or =
re-using a commission plate, but the mention of the DMV not caring about =
the rivets reminded me of a story (I am getting old, so all I have left =
is my stories). My brother restored a one owner very original Bugeye =
Sprite. He reused the original plate. The original plate is secured =
with sheet metal screws. He reused the original screws.
=20
Anyway, DMV didn't like the screws, said it had to be riveted. He even =
brought the "Complete Original" book, which showed and mentioned the =
screws. So the car with original parts is rejected at title inspection.
=20
I don't remember how it ended, but I think my pragmatic brother gave up =
and riveted the plate on.

I need to redo plate on 1967 2000 estate. At least attach the original =
one so sheriff can validate the VIN to get the estate titled in =
Missouri. It is a long process. I have been studying the different =
rivets used on other 2000s so the plate looks similar.
=20
Then need to find new 2000 plate. The original commission plate has =
numbers of different sizes. Sure it is because each worker was given one =
stamp of different sizes so there was no consistency in stamping =
details. Thought maybe it was a Friday car; was commissioned on a =
Tuesday. Maybe after lunch.=20
=20
Would be hard to find a laser engraver out here in country. Not sure I =
would like something that perfect after seeing all the other commission =
plates and body numbers.
