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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

@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...
