I'm not worried about a plate number being "reveiled", as the truck is one my Pop owned years ago in Indiana. I just wanted a little extra bit of detail to add. I made up a plate number based on the county, plus the current year. The display is based on the gravel driveway & phone pole "bumper" that we parked against (to keep from rolling down the hill!). The front grill has been rebuilt with the "bar"- the kit came with a mesh grill. The orange hazard lights were made in a first attempt with Future & food coloring. The vertical, white "bumpers" are tube styrene. The seatbelts were made with masking tape & styrene. Here's some pics for you:
