All about Kansas license plates

1975 (Trucks)/1976 (Autos)

The 1975 Truck and 1976 trailer tags were the first to use registration decals. They were also the last to use a state outline around the plate until the 2006 Vanity plate.

The Early version of the 1976 car tag

1976 Car tag, V. 2.0 (with 1979 and 1980 renewal stickers).  Note the difference in the font between the two tags.

A 1975 truck tag with a 1979 sticker.  Note that the green 1975 plates began the renewal process, and oly automobiles used the blue plates.  Motorcycles and trailers were in the same boat as well
Renewal Decals:  The Truck/Trailer decal colours lagged a year behind the automobile decal colours.  That is, the 1976 truck decal is the same as the 1977 car decal, and so on.  If you're still confused, refer to the colour chart below.
