Gary Lewis Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Those are cool! Do you have them already? By the way, when I clicked on the Reply link to this thread it asked for me to sign it. Tried it again and got the same thing. Signed in and was able to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've come across the Lariat ones, but the one truck that had these at the junkyard was missing the plastic inlay entirely. I don't know that I particularly need them, but they are nice!

False alarm on the log-in issue. I'm sitting in a Starbucks with really slooooow internet and the iPad was taking forever to load the pics. So I fired up the iPhone as it wasn't logged on to the wifi and things loaded a lot faster. But I may not have replied on the forum for a few days with it, and apparently it is when you reply that it checks. So the phone had timed out and I had to log in, but after that I could post. And the iPad has not asked for a log-in for days as I keep it active. Anyway, if you are creating an XLT won't you need those badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The straight six F150 is getting the rosewood. I refurbished the Ranger XLT nameplate for the radio bezel just because I had either that or the Ranger Lariat one in the 80/81 style. Lariat just sounds so cowboy to me so I picked XLT. I don't really have any other XLT trim to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are beautiful!    But Lariat doesn't scream "cowboy" as much as King Ranch does. Janey spec'd a KR for me in 2015 and I went along with it - until we got to the dealer. We opened the door and saw the saddle-stitching on the seats, closed the door, and bought a Platinum - for less than the KR.  On Wednesday, August 23, 2017, Ford F834 [via Bullnose Enthusiasts] <redacted_email_address> wrote:  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 That is funny Gary! And you are right about the price. You would have to have a mighty successful ranch to be able to afford one. I have absolutely nothing against cowboys or ranchers, but it isn't me. At all. Me and cowboy go together about like ketchup and ice cream. I just don't wear it well. We will see where the "scope creep" (as you so eloquently put it) takes me on the 1981. I know I've put some time into the interior pieces, but everything on this truck so far has actually been pretty low budget. So it's brake calipers and U joints before badges at this point 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to contain the creep (take that however you want) on Big Blue. 😳 On Wednesday, August 23, 2017, Ford F834 [via Bullnose Enthusiasts] <redacted_email_address> wrote: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Someone on Facebook was looking for XLT cab emblems. I posted these links and was told this is probably the tailgate badge: Gary, notice that rear bumper... are those push bars from Ford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Someone on Facebook was looking for XLT cab emblems. I posted these links and was told this is probably the tailgate badge: Gary, notice that rear bumper... are those push bars from Ford? This page says that badge was used only in 80 & 81: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/name-plates.html. But those bumper guards look strange. I've never seen any for the rear, and the catalog doesn't list them. Nor does the 1981 Accessories brochure, shown here: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/1981-accessories.html. (Note the pics of the bed rails on Page 11.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
