Save the Stickers?

1strodeo · Apr 26, 2017

I'm having my tub blasted and my uncut dash has the 4wd shifting sticker and my right rear has the jacking instructions sticker. I imagine it will cost me a little more to have the body work done around them, so is it worth it?

Thanks,
Jeff

1 vote to keep the originals. Yes you can buy new ones but..........

Blast it all clean and put new reproductions on.

You're putting all new paint on, so a couple reproduction decals will hardly matter.

Get new stickers, clean it right. Only one to consider saving is door jamb decal with vin and stuff, but mine is unreadable so it goes when the time comes.

I would keep the stickers, I just finished up my GF Bronco and kept the OE stickers, the same ones you have, to me there is just something about original but its really personal preference

I saved the one on the dr. door post, its pretty crusty looking but its original and ledgible, was thinking of getting a new one someday, but for now its staying. ;D

It's only original once.

And when you blast the rest of it and apply new paint...It is no longer original.

My opinion new paint and old decals is like a new pair of tenny shoes with the old pairs laces.
Just dont look right.

Lots of good points, I think I will go with new stickers to match the new paint.

If this '66 had a documented history I'd go another route, but who's to say any of it is original? Several parts on it are year correct, but not original (including the dash) I don't even know how many owners it's had. The only thing I know for sure is the name of the original owner, and more than likely it remained in Florida up until about 2000.

Speaking of which, I think I will try to track down the original owner or his family through Facebook or something...well my wife's Facebook; I got off that crap a long time ago.

Thanks fellas

I think some of the original stuff is cool. I like that my wiper motor still works and is stamped May 1969. But, if I had to replace it with a new one, so be it. Get new stickers.

Well I've refurbished a few old Tractors before and to go through all the trouble to finish up one and to leave the old decals on it just wasn't happening although I've seen some left back in the day before reproduction was so plentiful.Usually a small shift pattern or such.
