Default Re: Hinged rear licence plate

On a lot of muscle cars, for sure on a 73-74 chevy nova, the plate frame is hinged and sprung. This acts as the gas door as the filler spout is behind it in the center of the car. Try to get one of these and modify it for your truck, or put a spring on the hinge and the end of it pushing the plate firmly against the bumper. if it hits it will overcome the springs force and allow it to move out of the way, they it will spring back into place after the obstacle is cleared.
