I don't believe they ever put 4x4 decals on our trucks.

The only 4x4 specific decal that I know about was the one that was an instructional on how to lock/unlock the hubs.

Correct they never put a "4x4 Off Road or FX4 Off Road" sticker on the bed side of a 73-79 at the factory...at least not as far as I know or have ever seen.

Rectangle "Crew Cab" and or "Camper Special" badge on the front fender, under the side marker light, yes.

Zero.. zippo.. nada. Never been offered on Dents.

If ya want an emblem get them from an 80s or 90s Bronco. Decal? Call up JEFFAFA and order them for a newer model F-series.

Yup, you guys are correct. Ford never used a decal or emblem to show four wheel drive models.
Any that you do see are aftermarket, not factory.
Ford did use some nice emblems on the side of the slicks (61-65's). These are reproduced.

Some people nowdays can't tell which is 4x4 or 2wd so they put a big sticker on the side of the truck. Not really, but it does seem that way.

Thanks for the help guys. Didn't know for sure if there were original decals. I did see a few trucks on YouTube but must be from the 80's or 90's. Do you guys like them? Or should I just keep it looking original???

I vote keep it stock.
I always felt, the bigger the decal, the more someone is compensating for their short comings .

no big names

The Dent speaks for itself 2 wheel drive 4 wheel drive.Years ago I was way back in the mountains blowing off some rounds with my python,,,along a river in an old mining town,,,A fellow came back and saw my truck.He said "Thats the first 2 wheel drive I have ever seen back here".Once you commit there was no turning back.One tough dent.it speaks for itself. To me.

I wasn't sure which year(s) they were used on. Thanks.
I see I also cut off one year of the slicks . They were 61-66, not '65.
