    Every state is different, in NY, YOM (year of manufacture) are legal if you go through the process with paperwork. Check your DMV.

    I made one for a Model A pickup many years ago. I used aluminum angle for the cover to sit in on both sides of the bed, I used marine and covered it with black vinyl top material, I also used a strap piano hinge on front behind the rear window to lift the cover for access to the bed,

    The last time I saw the truck it still had the cover. HRP

    ^^^^ THIS^^^^ doesnn't anyone do their own ******** homework or do you expect others to do it for you.

    He nailed it, all states are different in their requirements. Any nonsense about "Well in____ we ____ " doesn't count.

    Very simply Welcome | RI Division of Motor Vehicles

    Then License Plates | RI Division of Motor Vehicles

    I see no provisions for YOM plates in Rhode Island on that web page.

    It doesn't seem to count in your own state, if you don't keep up w/ current laws. I recently found cl***ic plate registration got a LOT more stringent just over the past year. Tax increases and control standards, it seems. :(

    I had looked at the RIDMV website.
    Preferred Plates
    Preferred plates are requested through the Office of Governor, State House Room 144, 82 Smith Street, Providence, RI 02903. Phone: (401) 222-2080. Fax: (401) 222-8096. Email: preferredplates@governor.ri.gov I think I found my answer thanks for the help
