Good Used Or New "Name Plate", aka Blue Oval?

Administrator

I'm looking for a very reasonably-priced name plate, meaning the blue oval, that goes on the 82-86 grille.

As some of you know, I had the silly dream of placing a camera behind mine and messed it up. So I'd like to replace it, but am reluctant to spend much more money at this time of year, and a good used one or a cheap NOS one would be ideal.

There are two versions of the oval that I'm aware of that fit our trucks:

Original: These are marked E2TB-9843156-A and are part number E2TZ 9842528-A.

1987 & later: These are marked E7TB-9843156-AA and are part number E7TZ 9842528-A

You can see the differences in the two in Rusty's post here. And while the E2 version is more "correct", Big Blue came to me with the E7 version, so I'd be happy replacing it with one of those.

Mid-2000's Expeditions have one that works:

I think I paid $15 or so for that used on eBay. Maybe less...

Thanks, Larry. But I'm not sure I can read that ID #. Is it 2L11 7843158-AA?

I don't get any hits on that, so that can't be it. Do you know what it is? Or have the part number? Or a link where you found it?

Gary, I have the OEM piece I pulled off the grille I gave Larry. It's not perfect but it is yours if you want it.

Thanks, John. That sounds like an excellent offer!

But, if there are $15 new ones available, it might be almost as cheap as having you ship yours. On the other hand, if we go to SE Okiehoma next month for an outing...

Let me tentatively accept but lets see what transpires. Ok? And thanks!

According to the listing it's 2L14-7843156-AA

It was used though. 17 and change. Not sure if this link will work (it's a dead listing):

Thanks, Larry. But John has made me a "deal I can't refuse" on his. Read "free", inc shipping. But I'm going to see where we can squirrel these #'s away so we don't have to look again.

Oh I know... just adding the info for future reference.
