We need an icon!
I don't usually stir up do-do...
Jeep owners have their 'ducks'. We need an icon to show we appreciate Bullnose owners. Maybe a bull?
Any suggestions?

Make it really aggressive with steam coming from its nose. 😂

Maybe a quarter angle photo of a badass bullnose truck with a screened over photo, same angle, of a Bull with horns sticking out the windows and the nose matched with the front of the hood. All right then you graphic artists....get with it....or your own vision. Vapor from the nose if you must.

I found a 3d print file and downloaded it. I loaded it into Fusion 360, a cad program. I measured the Ford oval on the grill and drew it up. Then I resized the bull head model and added it to the oval, My 3d printer is warming up now... Picture when finished. Printer software says it'll take 5 1/2 hours...
I'm out of practice using the 3d printer, add a half hour to that...
Here's a rendition of the 'Bull Oval'.

Man, did that take a while to print! Over 7 hours. Got to brush up on my printing technique...
Came out rough as crap, but nothing a little bondo won't fix.
I'm going to edit the model, I don't think it needs to be that thick.
I think I'll paint the oval F0rd Blue, and the bull's head red to match the truck.

Don't forget the holes in the nose so we can hook up a smoke machine!
