Door post ID data plate - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Touchdown67 · 03-23-2011, 10:54 PM

Does anybody remake the door post ID data plate for 64-66 Chevrolet 1/2 ton trucks? I have found up to 1959 which looks close but not perfect.
I have also contacted a shop that refinshes the used plate, but he doesn't redo a 64-66. Thank you for any help...

You need to really be careful about this, one cannot mfg a vin plate, buy a 66 cab that has a title, then use that to tag your vehicle.............replacing the tag I would go to the DMV in your state and see what can legally done before proceeding....Kieth

Kieth... Thanks for replying, but I am only looking to repair/replace the information plate not the VIN tag. On my 65 C10 the VIN plate is in the door jamb (top) and the ID plate is attached on the inside left cowl. I would not think this is wrong to fix? Maybe I'm wrong? Thanks

Clyde65.. Thats what i'm talking about.

I think he is asking about the GVRW tag on the DS inside kick panel of the truck, is that correct Touchdown?

Do you know the "correct" name of the plate? I would like to see one and maybe they could be recreated as a sticker type, I think originally they were kind of silk screened sort of on a metal plate.

Yes Clyde65, it is a alum. plate silkscreened blue.

sorry about that I thought you were talking about the vin tag. Kieth

Touchdown, I would think almost any screen print shop/sign shop could and would duplicate that, especially with one that is in that good shape to go by.

Thanks Clyde65... I tried that shop first, he says he doesn't do my year. But maybe I will try a screen printer.

**Clyde65** · 03-24-2011, 03:48 PM
