After waiting many months for my title to arrive from Florida via Arizona I actually received my license plates today. Insured under $100 full coverage through State Farm and stopping traffic everywhere.
Plates used to be green in color for antique plates but the number is cool and very close to what the truck actually is (M35A2) but if it was a 5 ton 6x6 it would be perfect. The Sheriff was prior Army and inspection went like a snap and he knew about the back up light issue and never asked. He was floored when he noted the low miles (4783 miles and yes, the odometer is functioning). However, the clerk was "like what color is it?" and I said it's camo colored. To which she replied "what color is that?" and I went and proceeded to explain which colors were involved and she finally said "just let me see it and I'll figure it out." I said, OK its right outside your window and she looked and turned around and said "I don't see it." Of course I was laughing inside and told her what a good job the Army did on the camo job because she couldn't see it. Actually I am not sure how she missed it standing out like a sore thumb in a parking lot that is visible from all angles of her window. Eventually she figured it out and then asked, "what is it?" Oh my, I was going to have no fun on this one. I just said its an antique 1970 Jeep Truck. She proceeded to look in her books and finally had to ask someone who actually knew these things. Luckily I did get out of there in one piece finally and for my time I received my "Golden Ticket" as pictured below.
Once again, Thanks to Gimpy and also Desert Fox for the help you provided. Most of all I would like to thank the Steel Soldiers forum as a whole for providing entertainment, information, and a place on the internet to call home.
