Decals and removing antifreeze from carpet?

I've got two questions. The first is where can I get decals to replace old ones for a 1986 Bronco II, and remove to old cracked ones? Also how can someone rmove antifreeze from a carpet where they installed a new heater core?

You might still be able to get those decals from Ford. Call your local dealership and ask them - they'll know. If no-one makes them, a sign shop should be able to re-create them in vinyl.
As for the antifreeze....ya got me! I'd try any carpet stain removers first. If nothing works, you could try painting it. Someone makes carpet dye or paint...Google it.

I've seen guys remove cop car decals with a propane torch. I think I would rather use a heat gun or hair drier.

Rent a steam carpet cleaner with an upholstery attachment, another way is a pump-up spray bottle with 140 f water and steam carpet cleaner liquid. Spray on and wet-vac it out of the carpet. Last year I bought a Hoover Spin Scrub carpet cleaner, this thing is almost as easy to use as an upright. Great for cleaning seats and vehicle carpet with the attachments.

Lol i've just done both of these. the decals look at LMC Truck there good it's nos(new old stock) As for the carpet like the post above get a regular carpet cleaner with apostrey attacment and bissell carpet cleaner and just follow the instructions mine had 17 years of dirt, mud, anitfrezze, if you can name it i was in there and doing this acouple times got it good as new. if you want really soak it in the carpet till saturated and use a stiff nylon brush and brush it in good and rinse it out. And if you have the idea as i did to try and do the head liner or sun visors. DON'T it will make it seaperate from the glue.

Hope this helps
Kyle
