Vanity Plate Time - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gasasaur · 12-29-2016, 01:45 PM

My truck is an '87 V20.

It's between........

4WD YETI
87 YETI
GASASAUR

Any opinions?

wilkin250r · 12-29-2016, 02:52 PM

Beyond the Abominable Snowman, is there another common usage for the term "Yeti" that I'm not familiar with?

To me, a license plate with the name "Yeti" would belong on a white pickup, or better yet a white suburban.

Gasasaur · 12-29-2016, 02:56 PM

Oh, maybe I had it all wrong. I thought Yeti/Big Foot/Sasquatch were all the same thing?

Mattchu60 · 12-29-2016, 04:27 PM

If Yeti means something to you then put it on the plates. If I was behind you at a light I would wonder why the plates said Yeti though, it doesn't really seem to go with the vehicle to me - not bashing, just opinion. Its your money, do what you want!

I'm a more strait forward guy, so I'd go with something like "87 K20" or something.

83GMCK2500 · 12-29-2016, 05:07 PM

Nice V20, it's funny I just saw it's paint-twin on a local Craigslist.

As for your vanity plate, does your state offer any special ones? In WA we have collegiate, wildlife, boating, all kinds of stuff. Maybe look into one of those and just get 1987 on it. "gasasaur" is 8 char., are you allowed 8? We're only allowed 7.

**special-K** · 12-29-2016, 06:16 PM

"LAST 1" or "Last 20" for last year of this truck. I like the specialty tag with simply "1987", just like in brochures. Or "1987V20". From what I've seen 7 is the limit and if you do that you can't have a space in there. So, your first choice would have to be 4WDYETI.

Looks like that 2wd has the lighter grey. That black and gun metal is super sharp! How about "EIGHTY7"? I know mine are more boring. Just more suggestions

**mongocanfly** · 12-29-2016, 10:10 PM

Local knickname for Bigfoot around here is slewfoot...slufoot..slew ft.

f.monroe · 12-29-2016, 11:09 PM

First off .
Thats a super nice looking truck.

With that said. ......
Yeti seems to have taken on a new meaning with the popularity of the coolers and cups so that's what everyone thinks of when they see that word. I personally wouldn't put it on my truck unless I owned that company.

Gasasaur · 12-30-2016, 08:25 AM

Yes, mine is a darker gray. I got lucky and it also has a dark charcoal interior. But that 2wd looks like a pretty good deal!

We do get 8 characters around here.

My top choice was "FUELISH", but that was already taken. I will keep kicking this around.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions guys.

**TKCR** · 12-30-2016, 04:12 PM

Nice looking truck!!

When it came vanity plate time for me, I had a couple of ideas. It was only when I tried out the names online, most weren't available, already taken. So I would say, spend some time online trying several things, it maybe what's available that determines what you end up with.

Here's mine

Mattchu60 · 12-30-2016, 04:16 PM

Love that red truck, that is super sharp. What color red is that?

It's the Factory red, well a re-paint of it, it's called Bright Red. I believe some call it Apple Red too.

Gasasaur · 12-30-2016, 04:39 PM

I checked and looks like "1987 4WD" is available. Simple and sweet.

We get 8 letters in NC, so I can include the space between 1987 and 4WD.

Sounds like you got a winner then!! I like it

Gainsb · 12-31-2016, 02:47 PM

I just applied and eventually got denied this plate. SQRBDY. I am fighting with the RMV to have them stamp the plate. It's not clear to me why they won't accept it.

That's interesting. I was just thinking of requesting that one where I live. The website showed it as available but I wonder if they'd deny it too.

jh413 · 01-02-2017, 03:23 PM

I had heard IN wasn't going to allow them anymore, but I see them everyday. I didn't even look into it to see if I could even get one. I knew it'd be a battle just trying to get what I wanted.
So I searched forever for a '76 farm plate that wasn't rusted/beat to death. Finally got one. Indiana ONLY allows the bicentennial plate to be used as a YOM plate for '76. I knew that going in, but I still pleaded my case. Obviously they won. So I put the '76 plate on the front and got a NRA plate.

mud.man.rj · 01-02-2017, 03:25 PM

Mine is Mudman. 2 plates.

mud.man.rj · 01-02-2017, 03:27 PM

When I applied for mine is Sask they give you 3 choices then they get back to you and tell you what you can't use.

Most likely because they consider it offensive. Not that yours is, but the 'SQ' or 'SQR' is commonly used as shorthand for 'suck' or 'sucker/suck your'. They're likely reading it as 'suck your body'

I've gone around with the DMV on this before.

mud.man.rj · 01-02-2017, 04:01 PM

Try some other way, like 1 SQR, or just Square or has to be other ways..

RUN GMC · 01-04-2017, 05:56 AM

Mine is my handle "RUN GMC" is my vanity plate.....here in Alabama they have an app on the state DMV website.....so you it will it pass the you reserve it and pay.....my buddy got "DEES NUT" last year wether they will him to renew it this year remains to be seen......for your Squarebody you can use a math a reference "C2 BODY" = Squarebody.......

LT7A · 01-07-2017, 07:22 PM

I'm not a big fan of vanity plates so I will only offer this opinion: I really like your truck!

03glide · 01-09-2017, 01:39 PM

I have an 81 and my tag reads "9 Squared"
