Looking for a single provincial license plate (any province) for a 1968, but it has to be a truck or pickup tag.

I've got a few '68-vintage US plates I'd trade on for a nice truck tag. What'cha got out there?
 
So you've peaked my interest. How do you tell a Truck plate in Canada. I saw a reference to plates starting with L for trucks over 3000 Kg's but not sure which province it was for. Thanks.

My plate pile was right there so I snapped a pic. You'll have to know what the truck code is for the province. Some don't have codes other than farm "F" and I doubt NWT even had that. Even now, I believe Ontario is the only province with truck plates. Alberta 1968 plates are the same colour scheme as the 1971's.
 
I figured Canada had truck plates in all provinces. So, in that case, I'd take a '68 plate, period. What'cha got???
 
In Ontario they were dated by the month eg Dec.1968 I have some but no pic at the moment, later on it was a yearly thing wit the month decal that u stuck to the windshield

I don't have any '68s, as you can see My preference is '71s. Antique stores always have a ton, condition dictates price. I would look up each provinces plate (there's only a dozen) in '68 and pick which one you like the best. I once saw a '71 Quebec plate that I didn't buy, haven't seen one since, as I recall it was moss green with a black border and numbers/letters, very attractive. Plate doctors plates look to be in very good shape and very fairly priced.
 
I like the BC plates, as they are the same colors as my truck. Ontario are pretty common - I have a pair of '71 from there myself.

Holler if you have a nice '68 and what you want for it, thanks.

I have a good pair of 68 truck plates,would you want both or just one of them?

I’d be willing to trade both,or one,for similar year plates from certain US states like New Mexico,Oklahoma,Texas,Colorado Kansas,etc.
 
Sure! Oklahoma is a one-plate State, I've got a few other State plates of similar vintage, I'll sort through and post some pics

The Ohio plate is a low-number un-tabbed single, I believe from 1970(?)...it is in the worse shape, overall.

The CO truck is one of a matched pair, Jefferson County.

The CO single is a very nice plate, overall. Also from Jefferson County.

The Arizona plate is a '66, tabbed to '68.

Nebraska is a '76, celebrating the U.S. Bicentennial.

The Bahrain tag is a U.S.-sized rear plate from the late '90s.

I'd trade any single for one of yours, or any two or the Colorado truck pair for both BC.

I do like the 70 Colorado and 76 Nebraska plate but strangely enough I already have one of each of those and don't really have a need for doubles.Do you have access to any other plates of a similar vintage? If not I could just sell you the pair or I could probably find a single 68 truck plate if you just want one.
