Repro Decal

I'm restoring my 75 F-100 Explorer right now. It came as a Mexicali Red truck with a black stripe that went across the hood, then curved down and ran straight back across the cowl to the back of the bedside. The last time I restored the truck I had a local shop make new decals. They were nice, but didn't last long. I was wondering if there was any place that made reproductions of the original Ford truck decals from that series. I see several trucks in the galleries with that same stripe patter, but I can't tell if they're decals or if they've been painted on. Right now I'm leaning toward painting mine on, but I'd consider a decal if I could find a good pre-cut set.

I plan to. I think I only have one good pic of what the truck looks like in good shape, but I'll try to remember to add it.

The best option for a long lasting stripe is to have a shop paint it on. Decals fade and eventually crack/peel, but paint won't.
