Questions regarding Bridge Plates
I came it own a complete Bridge Plate set and I am currently doing a repaint of it. My first question is regarding the colors. The whole set has what looks to be a gloss enamel base coat in traffic yellow. Then everything except the back of the big round plate was painted flat OD. Is/was this the correct color scheme for Bridge Plates? The number plates are also OD with black numbers.
What number(s) or letter(s) should be on the small plate that holds the number plate packs on?
And lastly; what number would be correct for a '64 M151A1 to display?

None of them. The M151-series were exempt from the need to display the weight.Bucolic wrote:And lastly; what number would be correct for a '64 M151A1 to display?

So a Bridge Plate would be completely wrong on my 151, right?

Bucolic,
Right. It would be completely wrong for any 151. The 151s are not capable of carrying the tonnage indicated by the Bridge Plate numbers.
But they still look cool to the uninformed casual observer.

OK, that's what I'm thinking. I now know they don't really belong, BUT, it would look good.fowlercal wrote:Bucolic,

Oooooo...... Eye candy. I like to go to shows and point out to Jeep owners that put bridge plates on, that they are telling me they are 5 tons worth.

Re: Questions regarding Bridge Plates
That's funny, I was going to display a 6 and a 4 with an M above. 64 for a 1964 151 and the M for the series.SturmTyger380 wrote:Oooooo...... Eye candy. I like to go to shows and point out to Jeep owners that put bridge plates on, that they are telling me they are 5 tons worth.
And as far as the 'Christmas Tree' effect, other than the license plate, there won't be anything else on the front.

Re: Questions regarding Bridge Plates
even though i know that M151's don't normally have bridge plates, when i bought mine it was already there. i liked how it looked, so i left it on. it was set for "02".
