datzenmike Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Merry Christmas Angela!! and a happy new year. For me 2020 has been the most interesting and enjoyable year of my life. Lots of changes in life style I guess but none of them really 'bad'. Unemployed and loving it. The last time was '91??? but kids to look after now nothing but time. Here's to a great Christmas and an even better new year. 4 Quote Link to comment

With House Car plates,you're not supposed to haul anything in the bed,unless you have a canopy on it.I had a '68 F250 that had these plates. An ex-CHP officer informed me that I could be liable to a big fine. Quote Link to comment

I have commercial plates on mine but that's only because it came from Oregon into CA. Quote Link to comment

When I bought this truck a few years back it had different (new style) plates. I had a set of vintage plates I picked up at the Eagle Rock meet that I was saving for whenever the right 521 came along & got them approved by the CA DMV without any flak. So glad to have my truck dialed in the way I'd hoped...just never had the time. Working on it has kept me sane & mostly grounded during all this insanity. Looking forward to 2021 & getting back to a new normal...good friends, DATSUN meets & scavenging for shit I don't really need. 1 Quote Link to comment

jagman Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 I told my wife I had to go out to get a live center. She wanted to know why I wanted a football player. I told her it was a part for the lathe. She said if I buy for myself why try to get me a present I can use? I told her buy books! Quote Link to comment
