I am curious if the logo should be the same color as the dash, or were they originally painted or decaled in a contrasting color? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 | They were painted. I believe standard cab color lettering was white. In the two tone cabs, they were the lighter color. My webshots shows mine in the light blue. The factory job looked like a bad stenciling job. Look at Tim's site for more pics also. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | 3100, No decals seem to be available. It was originally painted bright white (most likely semigloss) on all cabs except two-tone interior cabs (as Greg described). Here\'s a photo. Here\'s another photo.

Its since been painted over and i think thats how its gonna stay until i find a pinstriper guy that'll do it up right for me.
As far as i know,,,theres no decals or stick-on letters for those.

Since my hand is not steady enough to paint the logo, I was thinking about putting a piece of white paper over my dash and running a pencil over it to create an impression of the logo. Hopefully one of the local sign shops could then scan that paper and create a decal. Anyone know if that is possible? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,299 | I think you could take the truck to the sign shop. Let them make the decal but if you want, use the negative of it as a stencil to paint letters on. | | |
