OEM 4X4 Emblem on the FJ45 LPB (3 Viewers)

[cppilot]

OK, I've got this original never used 4X4 emblem for the tailgate that I would like to have reproduced. The aftermarket one out there currently is good but not anything like the original.

As most of us know, these were aluminum type material and a little thicker than the reproductions out there. The color of the red letters is also a little darker on the original...

Anyone have any ideas of where or who could reproduce these for our members?

Thanks
Mark

Mark I would be interested in a couple if this comes to a reality.

 

[Bear]

Interested. Put me down for a number of them.

If I can get this done, I'll have enough for everyone. At this point I'm trying to find a place to get it done. I really don't just want a another Mylar sticker. I would prefer a metal type material like the original.

Thanks for the responses.

I reckon Racer 65 is your man.

Mark-

If there’s machining to be done Pat might be your guy. I’m just not sure about the finish work (painting).

We used this company for similar custom decals for adhering to machines. I believe the one you have is a great candidate. ( And , I certainly would buy some when completed.)

X2 on City Racer. I'm sure Roger can get the job done correctly.

All good ideas, I'll check on all of them. I have got a few places in Portland that I will check next week.

This decal appears to be a light weight metal, has a peal and stick back and is somewhat playable. Anyone with any other thoughts on where we can get this done is appreciated.

Dom, I could send this to you so you could check with Pat if you like. I know you are busy though.

I'd take one assuming I get a tailgate and my bed rebuilt and these were on '63 FJ45 SWB fix tops...

Oh, and how does one go about getting a copy of the FJ45P-B Parts Catalog?

(legally that is)

Middlecalf, your beautiful 63 SWB would not have had this sticker. It was only on the 65-67 FJ45 LPB.

The sticker your 63 SWB would have had is the one below. "I believe"

I have that sticker, Its yours if you want it. It's a copy of the original done by someone here on Mud. "Shoot me a pm" with your address and I'll send it to you.

I no longer have my 63 SWB.


I have several parts catalogs if you need help with any part numbers or photos for a reference just let me know.

However this is the sticker that your truck would have had on the rear sill.

Here is the sticker I have for you, Merry Christmas!

Here's a photo of your sticker and placement.

As I'm sorting thru a 27 year accumulation of 'stuff' in my office, I've come across a number of dash plaques printed on brushed aluminum surface that seem like a no-brainer. Yeah, I'd have to pull my NOS tag out of the vault to check, but off the top of my head, it seems like anyone that handles dash plaques could do this.

 

[cppilot]

Thanks Mark, I've been talking to Roger and I think he's willing to take it on.

CP,

Just a suggestion: since the original stickers seemed to have the bright red fade to pink over time, something more substantial and relatively fade-resistant would be appreciated. I would think that paint or powdercoat for the numbering would be longer-lasting than just ink. Maybe with a UV-resistant clear-coat? Perhaps a silk-screen company that does outdoor painted real estate signs. I know.....not totally original--but perhaps better quality.

Made my own more than ten years ago ( have one in reserve too )
Doesn`t fade out. Made at a self-adhesive foil (by a foil print shop)

Thanks Mark. Very gracious offer. PM sent.

Im interested in a few if you get them made.

Edit, oops just saw that city race might be doing this.
