    Yeah I swore the regs used to say 2”. That’s good to know. I might put them on the steps instead. Was thinking of getting the stainless plate that covers the diamond plate anyway. Truck is scheduled to be painted Thursday and I want to have the decals ready in time.

    That's why you make them 6 inches high and block letters, visible on dash or body cam. You can about read mine from across town.

    Didn’t someone find a regulation from PA or somewhere one time that had a minimum size? That’s why I said someone’s state regs could be different than what the feds require.

    We tried putting our information on the fuel tanks but it didn't work out. If the driver slopped fuel on the stickers it would melt the glue and eventually the sticker would come off.
