Front emblem
I noticed my front grill emblem, the bog blue oval, has had some water seep inside of it and it is cloudy over about 50%. OK, no big deal, time to replace it.
Rather than just another FORD oval, what fun stuff have other owners used? I have found an IH oval, but I have a 5.4L V-8, so that won't work.
Has anyone found anything else, or even made one?

If your emblem is metal, you can boil it and peel the blue off. This leaves a chrome emblem behind that shines up very nicely
Haven't tried on this truck yet. Hopefully these are the metal ones and not all plastic

I've been looking at old IH metal logo's. They are about 4 x 4 and would look good on my bumper grill.

I see this all the time. Maybe its just me but I think its UN-FRICKEN BELIEVABLE!!!!! I cant be the only one that finds it completely insane that Ford would allow this to happen?? I mean emblem is adorned to the front of every truck they sell. Its the first thing everyone sees. Its basically their name badge and they couldn't build a simple, NON FUNCTIONING, cosmetic piece to survive more than a few years.
How much confidence does that inspire??? (sarcasm)
If I hadnt been a Ford guy all my life and have known that Fords were the best, and longest lasting truck, I would look at that faded emblem on an almost new truck and be like pffffft they cant even build their own Ford Emblem to last, I highly doubt the truck will be built to last.
That Emblem is basically their business card that they hand out to everyone....And its falling apart. That would be like getting a business card from an English tutor and the card have spelling and punctuation mistakes.
Sorry about the rant but this has always boggled my mind

you're right on....the badges should last a long time...all the badging is junk...I hope the rest of the truck holds up better than badging
