looking for picture of the data/warning plates

[spankybear]

I want to try and make new data/warning plates as my are faded. The plates I am would like pictures of are the ones on the outside of the truck... The ones on the front fenders, tool box, cargo bed and what others on the outside I missed. The -10 TM in section 2-42 has then one I am talking about... and I tried to use those in the TM but I could make them work with the little skills I have... Thanks in advance!

One thing GovPlanet doesn't hire is anyone who knows how to take a good picture... I have looked at thousands of pics there and haven't found what I want. I know there are people here who have non faded plates on their trucks.... and most of the pictures I have seen here are way better.

When I bought my truck way back when people thought there was a huge hole in the trans... one of the reasons I believe I got it so cheap... thought I had a few sleepless nights after I won it and before I saw it in person,

No one? Anybody in the Western Washington that has readable plates that I can take pictures?

Mine are probably just as bad as yours. Maybe take pictures of the ones you want to get more responses? I might be down for a set as well.

Well the ones I have are unreadable and faded. Here is what I am looking for. Clips from the TM to show. The TM isn't working for what I want to try and that's why I am asking for pictures. If I make this work I could send the files or make some up for a nominal fee... Not looking to get rich just want nice looking data plates.

My first attempt at making and adding labels. Trying to replace the original markings on the cluster... This truck came out of the Washington National Guard and had the max speed

 

[spankybear]

Going a little crazy... and learning how to do this stuff... so I can promptly forget...

All my military vehicles have a bear... Use to be a Grizzly but everyone said OH California National Guard? Now a polar bear for this one...

When I first got the tuck there windshield has "SGT GROOT" so...

I have been playing with the graphics program and recreated one of the caution plates. Just need to get it to the decal cutter...

Here is what I have for the cab tilt warning... need to get it sized for the plate.

I had a M1084, same thing with the faded data plates. I did however take pictures of data plates from other SS trucks that I found. If you want I can look for those pictures and post them.

Check the spelling of "retract" before you print this one @spankybear

Misspelt words™ are kind of my trademark. But thanks for pointing that out. There is no spell checker in the software I am using. And trying to type with this sausages is not easy... Give a whole another meaning to fat fingered.

 

[spankybear]

With the use of Mullaney Spell Check this is how it now looks.... There are two of these on the truck. I am half tempted to have one missed spelled just to see is anyone notices.

Yes anything will help. The more I see the better I can make them. Well we will not count spelling.

 

[spankybear]

First attempt at trying. Not 100% but passable for a first try... Before and after pictures. There are still bugs I want to work out.

@spankybear , spelling has everything to do with what I do for a living. We print ink on paper (and other stuff). It has always amazed me how Customers will proofread and approve a PROOF of their job - using their typed and spell checked document - and still miss words spelled incorrectly. Make plates, load plates on the press, then pull the first sheet and as I am scanning the page I spot a mistake. There just aren't enough eyes to see them all...

We try, but we miss them sometimes too.

And with spell checker you have the WRONG word but correctly spelled... I have such a hard time with just one language... I am in awe of people who can read, write and speak many languages. Then add typing... for what ever reason I always put an "h" in were or cross "how" and "why". My brain ain't right...
