I am sure they do after a certain time. Do you have a Tractor Supply near you?

I have two, one about 40 miles to the west and the other about 40 miles to the south. I get near them maybe 2-3 times a year. I'll have to try to make it a point to get to one to see if they'd be willing to contact me when they cycle them out.

I have been trying to picture a monkey face with the truck just can't do it. Are you calling those years a monkey face because of the front end ?

Yes, 48 - 50 are sometimes referred to as monkey face and 51-52 are called manure spreaders.

Why wait until they "pitch out the signs" (you may not be around when they do), just buy one.

The sign looks like something they hang over their departments, not something they sell as merchandise

That's exactly what it is. I was looking for that Dept to get two stake pockets for the back of my flatbed.

Yes, but if you ask, they may sell you this sign.

Ford put out catalogs for dealers that showed all the signs they had. If a customer wanted one, the dealer would order it for them.
