Everybody at work kid me because I dont like chrome. I say I do but not on this truck.....Mine is only black.. its all BLACK...only a "nite" owner would understand

I know I see a lot of posts for graphics, mine were damaged by one too many trips to Mike's car wash and sun fade. One side looks pretty good but fading fast. I lost the tailgate logo when a buddy lost control of his Sportster and slammed into my down tailgate, so it had to be repainted after repair.
I made calls to the dealer and no luck finding any. They searched the national parts locator and no good ther either.
I see a few folks that have hoarded new old stock,
Does any one have things they can do a Hi-res scan on ??? Much easier to do a reproduction with an orig. copy. I know the stripe would be difficult but even sections would work to gather info. Measurements for the different cab/bed configurations would be good to record as well.
I happen to work for a division of 3M, but not in the graphics side of things, but I would be willing to pull some strings and call in a favor or two to see if something could be made with the good stuff. 3M's UV auto vinyl is know to be the best.
I would like to have some good reference data on hand to present if the opportunity presents itself.

hiroller,
Very nice Nite. I had some reproduced Nite logos and stripes made . The nite logos are almost perfect . The stripes have the same color & fade blue to purple . But do not have the very small black diamond shape in the 1st 2 blue stripes. I can not get any more made . I am out of strings . If you can get them made let me know. And I know, I will not sell my Nite, And I have been asked to by a local Ford Dealer when I came in to buy parts on two occasions. As nice and with your low miles I would not part with it.
These are the pictures

It seems like folks have been trying to get these stripes since the early 2000's and not had much luck. I see new old stock stuff go for big bucks on eBay.
I made some calls today and may have a good lead, I need to work on finding someone to be kind enough to get a scan of the logo to capture the detail. Same with the detail on the stripe.

I put the ones I had made on the passenger side. My driver side is original and in really good shape, must have been the side out of the sun under the original owners car port. My driver side also has the original Nite logo . That's what they went off of when I got mine done in 2009. They are very close to the original logos that you really have to tell most people that the passenger side & tailgate logos are not the original driver side logo. The stripe are the same size as originals for my ext.cab longbox but do not have the small black pattern in the first two blue stripes ,fender /door. I don't know to send pictures of the original detail. I will have to get my son to do it when he comes over . I'm an old guy and have limited computer knowledge. Hell it's amazing I can type , but I still feed the chickens ,pigs and our goats . My wife thinks it's amazing I can hear other people but not her my story and I'm stickin to it . This typing takes me too long . Please send me a Private message so we can talk on a Phone , I still can't get my head around young people and this Texing stuff . I mean IT'S A PHONE,,,,, And people can actually talk to one another,,,,,,,,,,,Thank you Mr. Bell......... Or leave a message for you. ... hiroller, Lookin forward to talkin to you. '92
