How old is the truck? I would think the dealer could order some for you.

Go to a junkyard and find some that you like and peel them off with a razor blade. Use contact cement or auto trim adhesive to put them on your truck.

PS: A lot of under hood decals are specific to the engine or that family of engines and not the vehicle model. There's a good chance that you can find an Excursion or other Ford model that has the same decals as your F-150.

Thanks guys. Ford doesn't have me for trucks that old. Mine is a 99. The guys from auto data label only work with body shops and need a phot of the original. They were not nice at all on the phone. Couldn't be bothered. I searched a yard and struck out. What was there was in such bad shape. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Find the best one that you can and get a good photo of it. Load that on a computer and clean it up with a photo editor and then print it on good photo paper and glue that on and cover it with clear epoxy or something like that. That's the only thing that I can suggest if you can't find an original. You might also try asking on an auto restoration forum.
