Garage decorations?
I know there is a garage/shop forum on this website, but I spend all of my time in this forum. My new shop is just about done. My sister and parents have been asking me what I want for my birthday, and I got to thinking it would be cool to dress up my new shop with some signs or artwork. Is there a good mail order company that makes Ford truck metal signs, posters, etc.? I think it would be cool if some company made replicas of 1970's advertisements or dealership posters for our trucks. I'm picturing something like a large "Built Ford Tough" ad with a '79 4X4 with skinny stock tires on it and a couple of cowboys saddling up their horses (or some other outdoor scene). Is there some company out there that sells this kind of stuff?
Thanks, Andy

If you search "1973 Ford truck" on EBay parts/accessories, a ton of banners, posters , signs , etc. will come up. I've ordered several over the years for my garage. Pretty reasonable prices. I'm currently watching an original Ford dealer poster right now, specific to my '74 pickup. I think it would be cool for the garage.

Ford Trucks Tin Sign at AllPosters.com
A 79 grill shell with working park lights works nice too, but working headlight would be cool or at least Ford blue light bulbs....

I like that step you have for working on the engine. Where did you get that?

That one is a Harbor Freight and was a x mas gift, Lowe's has a more HD one, but that one is fine for light work, legs fold up, will store compact/flat.
But.... it is a little narrow and will throw you on the floor in a heartbeat, if you are standing on it and get to leaning on the radiator and try to pick up a stock 351M intake and then try to get your footing, hang on buddy, its a while ride trying not to drop the intake on your motor.
I have a old set of tailor house (mobile home) metal frame stairs with one side railing and wood steps that is the bomb for working on a tall 4x4.

NICE........shop. First off you know what goes great with white, a Ford blue racing stripe about 2 feet wide and 3 or 4 ft off the ground all the way around the place.
Say maybe from the door *** down maybe a 1' or 1 1/2? But just above the work bench, or duels like the back of a Mustang truck lid.
