Michael, I don't do many signs but have been known to design a few and vehicles is what I do. I believe that the background color of the truck dictates which colors should be used.
Also since the client is into working with wood how about a letter style and color which looks like wood with grain etc.
Determining the style he wants to portray and the vehicle year also gives the artist room to explore new horizons as well as extending old time styles.
Hope you understand my position

I agree with above- and feel a faux woodgrain panel (eg a nice dark walnut) would make a good starting point, and the chopped out corners need a bit more substance to them, in my opinion.
The contrast between a vertical format font, and a horizontal format panel isn't working for me either, sorry!
