This might be a totally dumb thing to want, but I get a lot of people asking me where my 70 came from, and they think the concept of bringing a vehicle in from another country is great. To play on this, I'm thinking about getting some foreign licence plates for the truck. Does anyone know the laws in BC surrounding this? Is it OK to display foreign plates for show?

Should be, as long as you display the proper BC ones front and back.
Ok ,LETS ALL SWAP PLATES
If you could find some Afhgani plates you could tell everyone its a captured Taliban staff car that OBL rode in.

I've been driving my FJ62 in the US for 9 years (160K kilometers, 38 states) with Venezuelan plates front and back. Not *technically* legal, but I've only been pulled over twice, and neither time I got a ticket. The second time the state trooper wanted to check out the truck!
When I moved to Québec from Alberta, I kept the Alberta plate on the front, since, in Québec, they only have one plate for the rear. I was stopped once and told in no uncertain terms that it is illegal and to get the Alberta plate off ASAP.
That said, I still see people driving with plates from elsewhere on the front; GB, Germany, California....
Cheers.

Just for the record. Running foreign plates in the US is a big No No. The laws varyy from state to state a bit because some have plates front and rear and others just have rear but all the states I have lived (7) in have issues with foreign plates, years ago I got stopped in New York for running a british plate on the front of a car I had.
