I feel the same way blue, mines a custom and didn't come with any side chrome any way, the 70 Ranger XLT had it everywhere and I thought it was a little "overdone". I'm gonna paint mine Blue too, Metallic blue, probably something a little bright. Anyway you can buy th echrome F-100 hood emblems on ebay for pretty cheap. Oh and another thing I'm doing is rechroming the custom emblem on the back of my truck, after all it is gonna be a custom truck!!
