emblem preferences
I'm curious on what you guys/gals like better? Do you prefer emblems on the hood or shaved? I've been looking at several pictures and it's about 50/50. Lets here your opinions.

Well, I prefer emblems, too... but then, I also prefer stock. Randy Jack called it, I think. You really shouldn't have the emblems on it if it isn't THAT truck any more.

Yet several still retain the emblems even though they are on air bags, etc. I think it's a matter of choice. Interesting to hear different ideas on this one. Randy has a good point, but I'm still wondering...

Here Randy, I'll give him another target
Custom: when you have to stand there and try to figure out what year and model it used to be.
Stocker: everything else from slightly modified to restoration pieces.
I like emblems. I scrounged ebay for the correct emblems for my '62 unibody that had the hood shaved. I've never understood the desire to shave a truck. But I also don't like the "in the weeds" look, don't understand chassis transplants or most of the other 'improvements' made to these trucks. Cars? sure, but trucks are supposed to be TRUCKS..........

I also have a problem with a crew cab dually lowered in the weeds. What are they thinking?
I must be getting too old.

Tell you what I think when I see one brushing the dust off the road: "Yeah, I'd hate to have to change a flat on that (#*&@)!"
It's bad enough changing a front tire that's gone down on my stock-height 56.

I prefer the emblems and it's not every day you see a Mercury truck.
Mtflat,
Speaking of those "Chassis Transplants", my truck has a higher load capacity than when it left the factory! So it's still a truck and always will be a truck.
