    Probably stupid question, but just got the plate for our new Mack, with the nice chrome bumper....nowhere to put the plate. Any thoughts or suggestions - driver suggested drilling holes, don't want to do that....

    How big is that space in the bumper? I'm thinkimg some kind of brackets that clamp on, no drilling required.

    Use a piano hinge and mount it to the bottom of the bumper

    I still have to mount my new bumper on my truck, but I ordered a plate holder from iowa80 I think that bolts to the bottom of the bumper and holds the plate up in front of the bumper.
