My truck has an identity crisis. The rear plate is properly registered for the truck and says "IRV2". When I ordered vanity plates for my 5th wheel, they sent me two of them, so now the front plate of my truck reads "FOXY5TH". I suppose I am violating some law, but ignorance is bliss.

Yeah, they could nab you pretty good for that. Display of improper plates is not a good idea.

MS only 1 plate also.

The laws that apply to your vehicle in YOUR State are the ones which you have to meet.

NOT the laws of another State.

But only talking registration here.

In TX, you can legally run no plates at all. That's one thing they've done right. Restored military vehicles can register with whatever hood numbers you paint on. That becomes your "license plate".

In NC (and some other states), you can legally display a plate from the year of manufacture of your vehicle, as long as its one of the plates with the year stamped into it, and your vehicle is 35 years or older. In NC, you don't even have to register that plate (that will teach the red-light camera people!).

This is pertinent here, because my TV is both an MV, and over 35 years old.

Contrary to the information contained in a previous post, the majority of the states - 35 of the 50, to be exact - issue and require the display of two license plates for passenger cars registered in their respective states (with some exceptions such as temporary tags, dealer or manufacturer plates, motorcycles, etc).

However, the posters who state that you have only to comply with the display laws of your own state are correct. If your state issues only a rear plate, such as FLA, and you have it legally displayed (not obscured, etc), then you are legal (on that issue, anyway) in all 50 states.

Well... I was pulled over in New Hampshire last year for no apparent reason by a small town police officer. First thing he asks for is license & reg which I gave him. When I asked why I was pulled over he stated that my truck isn't tagged. Pointed out nicely that in Missouri, truck tags are on the front. He stepped to the front and saw it and walked straight back to his cruiser and got on the radio. Five minutes later he apologized for any inconvenience and sent me on my way.
