Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Today I attached the 2025 registration sticker to the license plate on my '68 C/10 Stepside.
Not just a peel and stick. I had to disconnect the LED License Plate Illuminator Bolts from inside the rear step bumper. and take the plate out of its case with a plastic screen to get at it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Pulled the hood and cowl off of Otis today as I'm taking it to a buddy in the AM to re-paint/clear them both.
The clear started peel on the hood, and the cowl has a pretty good surface rust spot that's getting bigger where a rock nailed it about 3 years ago

I like how here in NC you can slap a same year plate on your classic truck, the normal plate is easy to get a sticker on when its in your glove box with the registration.

I don't have a vintage or YOM plate on the '68 Stepside. It's still a commercial plate. Having Cmcl plates allows me to park in loading zones Downtown for 15 minutes without having to pay the meters.
On my '71 GMC Jimmy, I do have a YOM plate, but it's permanently attached. [My old regular plate from that truck is now inactive.] So the current annual ADOT/MVD sticker goes on the 1971 plate, but on the Left, as I have the '71 sticker in place on the Right.
No phantom plate in the glovebox is needed.

I keep a running thread in the builds section called fixing the 90's mistake, previous owner has a 90's stepside bed installed when I bought it. Its been through a bit of a transition since then.

finalized the interior transformation from parchment to medium blue in my 1:24 scale "project truck" to match the real version.

The hood is primed and working on the cowl cover...almost ready for color coat.
It was less labor intensive to blast and powder coat prime the cowl cover so it's a little behind but almost there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

One of these has stripped threads and I made the other one. 304SS. It is hard to see but the cone shape does match on the new piece. The thread is 1" X 24TPI.
