That's good stuff right there.  You will have to keep an eye out for each other's trucks.

Have had my eyes peeled for a set of NOS fender emblems for years now and never quite find the exact match. I will eventually get around to restoring the originals but in the interim check out this coolness. A talented and ambitious student helped me with recreating replica's of the originals. He did an awesome job especially considering the lettering is not a font. He had to draw each and every character to match. The HUNDRED needs to be a little fatter but otherwise it's spot on. He also did the dash emblem and the cab trim emblems. See first test print results below:

My friend said it looks like a chocolate bar. If they sold these in chocolate bars I would eat it!  8)

If they sold coco bars like that, I'd be the same curb weight as my truck. Super cool tho, you going to start reproducing all of the square body emblems.
