I have since had black reflective vinyl put into the letters on the tailgate.

 

Wow, nice job, looks great!

 

sweeeet wish mine looked that good, well maybe some day

 

good lookin truck man

 

looks great! did you paint it yourself and how?

 

Looks great, reading your signature that's even cooler it was your Dad's truck. It's good to see you holding on to it and making it nice again.

 

she looks like brand new again!

 

Thanks guys. I did not do it myself. I had it done by an old guy here in town. I used Dupont Nason Urethane paint since the clear coat will just bubble off again in a few years. I wish I could find the Diesel badge for the front. The original one broke when he removed it.

 

i think i recall LMC has those.seems like i saw those 8th gen front "diesel" emblems there.could be wrong.perhaps check ebay too?

 

I have searched and LMC doesn't have them. When I last found one on Ebay it was in pretty bad shape and they thought it was made of gold for what it was listed for. A place I found that specializes in obsolete Ford parts can't get them. I got the grill and fender emblems from them. They are original Ford parts and were cheaper than LMC.

 

The black/silver is one of my favorite color combos. Looks great.

 

i have one, sent you a pm

 

Paint looks great.
