re: Are the trucks we grew up with the next era of "classic" vehicles?

It is the same in LA.
You can even apply for a same model year plate for your vehicle. The OMV does not issue this type of plate, the owner supplies the plate with required photo of the plate and documentation. It cannot be the same as a plate currently listed with the same numbers and letters. It also exempts you from having an inspection sticker on your windshield.

At a bare minimum, they should work to get the beautiful two-tone paint job onto the new trucks, including modifications to the body styling as appropriate.

I think that 98-99 to 2004-5 era will be the last generation of cars that would be generally desirable by DIY folks. Truck or car. Relatively affordable just to keep it running or hotrod it if you want. There are some exceptions since but you start getting into the EPA mandated BS and no popup headlights.

Those are already classic.

Good info. How can an existing vanity plate number be added to an antique plate? I've seen a couple of vanity numbers on antique plates in BR.

I think the process is similar. You have to apply through the OMV with a photo of the requested plate. You have to submit an affidavit that the car is 25years or older, restored to original equipment or be a member of an antique car club (This is the way I did it) and pay the fee.
I think all the information is on the OMV website including the forms needed
Though not a vanity transferred plate, I was able to do everything online and it only took a couple weeks to go through.
ETA: see the link posted. Does this help you out? Notice it states 35 years now.

Yes, I was unaware of the change as well. Are you a member of your local AACA?
Posted on 1/18/26 at 1:37 pm to Traveler
Not affiliated with any car clubs for no reason except it never occurred to me to join one.
Posted on 1/18/26 at 1:40 pm to Macfly
I know the club president and a few of the members. Good people and involved with a lot of activities.

My dad had this same pickup back in the early 80’s…

It was nice when trucks were made out of steel instead of some plastic composite they use now
Another real difference is avoiding the computer chips that later models have been inflected with. Had an ‘03 pickup that was back and forth in the shop for carburetor malfunctions that a shop finally identified as being due to a chip falsely interpreting a signal from a computer chip. Found a workaround that ignored the chip and no problems last few years.

It’s sad looking at these trucks and realizing that basically all trucks & cars are now black, white, or silver.

Next popular is dark red.
Seldom see blues.
Every other color is considered a rare sighting.

I’ll take 4 and 16 all day long over anything new. Add the PowerWagon too. Badarse.

Always nice to see them restored to perfection.

Damn shame most of them were made with inferior steel and are now rust buckets not to mention the shitty materials they used for the interiors.

You could mow down the interstate with these trucks. Sissy shite they make today.
