How many stickers did you go thru to get them on the truck that straight. They look perfect. Is there some sort of trick to that ?

Thank's Jbrew, I didn't ruin any I did them all dry instead of wet because I was in a hurry last night and I don't want to think about how many of our trucks I've lettered over the years. I use blue painters tape, a good wooden carpenters ruler, stiff Bondo squeegee, and patience with some luck and skill thrown in.

I usually have more than one in case I screw up the first. Sometimes it sucks when you have to abort, wort case, they double as a paint remover

Crap, now I need a bigger one.

Well that won't last. What size bag? Ahh never-mind.

The Good ones are Red and say Ford 2002 "Vehicle" Service Information at the Top. I have 2 for your model, but they're different. Both say,-

WORKSHOP, WIRING (EVTM), PC/ED
------------OASIS----------------

On the left side it has,-

JULY 2003
VERSION 6.0

(The "version" is just the Adobe version used)

On the right side it has, -

FORD CUSTOMER
SERVICE DIVISION
COPYRIGHT 2003
FORD MOTOR COMPANY
FCS-13295-0507A
NOT FOR RESALE

When you load some of these you have to change your computers date or you'll be locked out. Some DVD's are hacked or re-written so that's not an issue. I don't have the software to do that. I know that DVD decrypter and Shrink can't get past security. Not sure how to do that, SO, unfortunately I can't share them. But, on could share sections thru a little manipulation. Not that I would ever do that mind you.

You'll have to look. With this info you should be able to locate a good one. But honestly, I haven't heard of a bad one before. I'm not sure how they have permission to sell the real deals. Well, I'm not sure, but have an idea how they're doing that, I should say lol.

That's why I normally put them on wet so I can move them around and get them exactly where I want them before I squeegee the water out from under the sticker.

Great idea. I didn't know you could do that. So after my trucks painted, I'm putting the 4x4 off road stickers back on. Do you soak the decal in a pan of water or just wet down the metal. Or both! I'm only going to get one shot at that. I have the squeegee's (a couple are form fitting) and bondo paddles, - plenty of plastic paddles as well.

Sort of like stickering a model car ehh.

Pretty much. I use a spray bottle with warm water and a couple drops of Dawn dish soap and I wet both the sticker and vehicle. Place the sticker on the vehicle then move it around until it's where I want it then squeegee the water out.
