Amarillo owners, I need some help!

So, my truck is currently missing the Amarillo stickers on the bed. I have a friend who can re-create them for me for much cheaper than they cost through the dealer (around 100 a sticker!). So, what I am needed is a high quality picture of the sticker, the dimensions of it, and the measurements to place a new one on the truck. I would greatly appreciate anyone who could get this for me!

Rats I wished I had the reference tape that the crime labs use. I can take the photos
for you in the AM with my Nikon but don't have any thing to give a good measurement
reference other than a metal ruler.
PM me your Email address and I'll send you a very large photo image. Do you have photoshop
or would you like it as a JPG? The Photoshop format will give you more data. I'll try to find
my gray card so you can get the colors right.

I was hoping you'd chime in Sean!

A ruler or tape measure would work perfectly fine. Just need a length and height shot. I'm not sure if there's any way you could get some measurements also to get a location of what the sticker should go either, just maybe some sort of reference points. I would say send it as a Photoshop image so that the pixel count is higher. It'll yield a better quality sticker.

Thanks!

It will be a stick on, not painted. Here's what the sticker looks like:

Cody,
Check your mailbox I may of over loaded it.
The mail server was whining at me.

Note : You should have a total of 11 and lots of resolution
When I opened the JPG I could see the edge of the decal so
you should have a good start.

Cool.
Let me know if you need the larger RAW image files. They are not color corrected
or compressed like the JPGs are.

We shall see what he says! I NEED to get those badges on the truck. I feel like it's not an Amarillo without them. Also, I've been heavily thinking of removing the Ford badges and putting International ones in their place...

Cody when you get them printed please post a photo
and also let me know what they cost.
I have some up coming body work on both sides of the bed
and will most likely just repaint the box.

Silly question but did you check with Tousley Ford Parts Depot ?
They were about 1/2 the MSRP and I have the part number her somewhere.
I'll post if when I find it.
