    It is a pretty solid truck an 86 model with 77,000 miles it needs to be repainted. I have a few questions about a couple things.

    Tennessee does not have farm tags if he gets a regular tag he can use it like any other vehicle on the road. Just don't use for commerical or any thing that you will get paid for doing. Antique tags will limit the use of the truck.

    Deuce Identification no.

    Here is a pic of the data plate. Do you think it is from the 50's? I am sure it is hard to tell by the way it looks but it does not look 50 to 60 years old. I am not sure if I did the picture right you may not be able to read it.
