Dennis_MN Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 1) what is YOM?2) is this the same in all states? By now you know that YOM is Year Of Manufacture so this example is from Minnesota for my 1949 Pickup I first bought a set of 1949 car plates but Minnesota had used that number series on collector plates so I couldn't register them because someone had that number on a collector plate. I finally found a decent set of plates from a Truck so it had fewer digits and it had a Letter. I paid the one time registration fee and no longer need to pay the annual license fee. One other restriction is that they are supposed to be limited in annual miles driven and it says for car shows or events only. And I do have to have another registered vehicle in use. Quote

I have yet to find a "T" plate set for my truck, but found an open "Y" series (in MN that means 1 ton or larger) that I put my truck under for the time being. Meanwhile...i'll drive it to lots of "shows/events"...they just might only involve my truck! Quote
Dave72dt Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Dennis, by chance do you have a full rear shot of that bumper and what's it off of? Quote
TheMoose Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 Dennis, by chance do you have a full rear shot of that bumper and what's it off of? I was wondering that too, Dakota Bumper? Quote

Meanwhile...i'll drive it to lots of "shows/events"...they just might only involve my truck! I like that idea ...One man show. Our area drive-in theater lets the collector and classics have the prime spots up front and a break on the price. You can always stop at the parts houses and ask for something they don't have and the counter people will come out to look and they might know where the local gathering spots are. Quote
Dennis_MN Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Dennis, by chance do you have a full rear shot of that bumper and what's it off of? That bumper is off a older series Ford Ranger. They used most of a receiver hitch to fabricate the mounting brackets. When I bought it there was a Ranger front bumper but I didn't like the looks so I switched to a original style but left the rear. Quote

Every fathers day they have a truck show, you should come. By the way, the dealer for plates is a couple named Ribel, from Belle Plain, MN. Last year they had a unused set from 49. Quote

Young Ed Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Back to the 50s isn't always fathers day weekend. Some years it is though. Depending on what time the truck show is on sunday you might be able to catch both. Quote
TheMoose Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 I have this if someone from Michigan wants a YOM tag. Quote

Dave72dt Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks, Dennis. I'm not sure what I want to do for a rear bumper on my truck yet. I don't think my factory bumper is going back on and am looking for alternatives. Quote
3dodgedoobie Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 On my Dakota (show truck) I had plates that had 1KOTA2C. And liked it all except for the paying that high price every year. So I dropped it.back to regular tags. Thinking antique on the 52. But also plan on driving it alot. So hadn't made mind up yet. Quote
