The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Where to get Door Decals made

Hello,
I am looking for a place to have decals made for the doors of my 53 3100. Would like a nice 1950s business period correct signs that I can apply.
Thanks

a local sign maker should be able to help. I had one make me a stencil so I could have an authentic hand painted sign. Then a couple years later the signs were damaged and I found a real sign painter that hand painted my door signs.

Cletus1950,

Here are pics of the decals I have on my 58. Been on there about 5 years.

Also attached the gentlemen’s contact info who made them. Good guy to work with.

At the time, he could make three versions of the font, barely legible, worn, or looking brand new. I went with the worn version to match the trucks patina.

Check and Support your local business.
They can design anything you come up with!
Here is our truck. The Goat on the door the shop made from an actual picture of our Grand Champion Doe.
Then our daughter painted it on the doors.
The print shop made a reversal decal and then we painted the Logo.
It was fun.
Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks! I will post some pictures when I figure it out

Here is my doors. Hand painter by a man in Kenosha WI. 100$ each door. I thought that was a great deal. Bill

Cletis 1950 they can now make vynil that sticks-on,works fine my local young whippersnapper can make anything you want.You got em in Florida too !!

Bill Trotter Nice job there too,had a master of that but he had to leave us,he happened to know big Daddy Ed Roth too !!

I wanted to have the ability to display different signs for different events/purposes (and/or to drive without a sign).

I bought 18" x 18" or 24" x 24' magnetic "decals".

Whats the gping price to get one, or two. Made these days?? Curious before i go looking and counting my nickels.

If you're only looking to make small decals (8" x 10" or smaller), you can use waterslide decal paper and an inkjet or laser printer. Waterslide decal paper comes in both clear and white background (no printer made for home use can print the color white). If using an inkjet printer, coat the waterslide paper with clear before activating the paper...laser ink won't dissolve in water. You can see some gauge decals I made at the top of the "Interiors" section. Color laser printing is best done at a Fed Ex/Kinko's and is not expensive. If using these where they'll be exposed to sun, etc be sure to overcoat them with clear.

Like Tim I want different options. I bought some magnetic sheet material. We used my wife's vinyl cutting machine. We made a set for both doors.

Very nice, Wayne
