besides, like I said....L bracket vs L bracket....Does it really affect the value of the truck that much, that people will be all picky and pissy over a $1 piece of metal, that only THEY know is there?
Geez.....A repair is a repair..COBBLING, is when you "Repair" it and it falls apart 5 minutes later..

Well, when I can do it right, I do. Over the years I've spent good money on things that filled the niche at the time - only to have those parts usually go bad prematurely or never work exactly right in the first place and limp along doing half their job until I get sick of dealing with them and then - do it right. Tell me you haven't done the same thing. It's not about resale. It's about hopefully spending my precious time to fix something right and have it stay fixed this time.

I just don't get why a Ford logo will make that L bracket any stronger?
Not being a dick...But its as broad as it is long...

I've had the 2x2 L bracket fix for a couple years now. It works and it was cheap. I must have done it wrong, though, because I can see a little of the bracket sticking out from under the dash. Big deal? No. Slightly annoying? Yes. "Blame it on my ADD, baby..." On another note, I'm glad I have the time to sit and debate such a meaningless topic, lol.
