On here where???
I've looked around and can't find it.
Give us a link please.
It does look pretty nice, minus the advertising, of course.
But, that would be a real conversation piece here in north central Indiana.

A bit concerned about the original plates G was issued in about 1976 and H was about 1978 give or take a year or two but definitely not 1968.

If you have a good look, you'll see a little disproportionality...my guess is that body was shortened to fit SWB pan...
