    Bob deuce data plate--need count on truck numbers

    YOU BOBBERS NEED TO GET BOBBING!!!! I JUST PLACED AN ORDER FOR 150 EA OF THE BOBBED DEUCE DATA PLATE W/O MENTION OF WINCH. THERE WAS TOO LITTLE RESPONSE TO PRODUCE IT IN BOTH A W/W & WO/W VERSION. HOPEFULLY THE ABSENCE OF ANY WINCH MENTION WILL WORK FOR YOU GUYS. THEY TELL ME THEY WILL BE...

    AS IT STANDS NOW I HAVE REQUESTS FOR 6 WO/W PLATES, 5 W/W PLATES AND 15 XM381A2 (NO MENTION OF WINCH). IT IS NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO PRODUCE ALL 3 AT THESE NUMBERS EVEN FACTORING IN FUTURE SALES. UNLESS I GET A BUNCH OF REQUESTS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS I WILL PRODUCE THE ONE XM381A2 (NO...

    Bob deuce data plate--need count on truck numbers

    I should have the final draft out to ss for comments by the end of the week. Once it passes comments from you guys and a couple of other groups then it is off to production. Art work costs have taken an increase as they cannot work from a .jpg file and it all has to be converted to something...

    I should have preliminary art work on 3 plates for the bobbed deuce-- XM381A2 wo/w, XM381A2 w/w, & XM381A2 in a few days. I will post samples here for your comments. The XM381A2 plate will be used for both w/w & wo/w if production costs make it impractical to do both plates. I would...

    Bob deuce data plate--need count on truck numbers

    The plate shows an early gasser w/o winch weight. This is what I will be startng with and will use actual rounded off weights from a w/w & wo/w bobbed deuce. Approx empty weights on the two are 10,600# & 10,300# so we should clear the bumper height restriction hurdle nicely. If anyone has a...

    Bob deuce data plate--need count on truck numbers

    I have gotten back to work on this project. I am starting with the M381A2 plate, making it for a 2 1/2 ton, updating the weights, not mentioning a winch, removing the ordnance number, removing the manufacturer and leaving a blank block to stamp that in. I thought XM35A2B or XM35A2BOB or ??? as...
