OK....
you've made it into a challenge now !
Pre cut strips have to come off a roll somewhere along the line....
Mmmmm...wonder who makes the rolls in the first place.
Can't be that difficult to find out....or for that matter to find a graphics/lettering/decal company that would make the particular design up as a repro.
Internet here I come.

to bad i didn't have better taste in men though huh?
oh and no affense, but not sure if i trust ya near my truck with paint.
not to worry, i will practice until i can do it perfect before even touching your truck. we might need to buy a bigger wheel for it though if they even still make parts for it. make sure and take that 1911 to joe's dad when you get the kit as custom guns are quite a bit tighter than stock ones and you might need some gun smithing. as far as men go, well, that's a crap shoot as you've picked both good and bad but that was more accidental than anything. hey, at least you can pick out guns and trucks

Lenticular,
when i get home i will look at the box that the pin striping tape came in....i am pretty sure it the shipping address was dearborn MI....but totally not 100% on that. i do remember it was a ford box, but that could mean anything.

ok well, the box is of absolutely no use to us....just says that it is a strip kit and is a ford cetified part...oh yeah dearborn mi 48121. and a bunch of crap about it conforming to federal vehicle safety standards...blah blah blah. well, if you are serious i can send ya one of the extra stips i have....i don't personally want to replace my tape pinstriping w/ more tape pinstriping....although i would consider it if the tape were more like on my moms truck....it is much wider then ours....doesn't wrap around like i think it should...stops 1/4" from the edges like ours does.

Thanks so much for your offer but I think that once I start I will want to redo the striping on the whole truck.....
and let's face it being truckless over here until I return to the States in the indeterminate future I need something to occupy my time so I will continue to cogitate (Thats allowed in the UK by the way) on ways to obtain the necessary full monty.

Ta Ta for now old bean.....
off up the wooden hills doncherknow!

Need to get up early to do battle with the M6 motorway.
(See it to believe it....4 lanes of traffic all doing around 90 mph)
Her indoors has issued orders about a shopping trip to Manchester.
Yuk !!

i was following the pin striping hence possibly needing a new wheel. the other stuff was just between my sis and i. as far as the pin striper goes it is basically a paint tube with a wheel on it and comes with a magnetic strip that is incredibly long that one can use to run the tool against so that the stripe will be straight or whatever shape one wants it in. a real cool tool, comes with different width wheels and such and looks to be pretty easy to use since no one seems to be able to do it with a brush anymore. if sarah lets me do it to her truck i have a few ideas to make the stripe a little more fancy but not crazy.

Purple? Yikes.... not too sure about that one. If you're speaking more of the 'blue' tone versus the purple tone...maybe. The thought of a purple KR scares me...

Guys,

My pick for another color combo on the KR would have to be the Oxford White/Arizona Beige. I had a '00 4x4 Scab in that color and I just loved it. I wanted to get a S'Crew in white but with no FX4 available when I was shopping and no white KRs either, I just bought what they had on hand. Of course I was able to get an unbeatable deal since it'd been sitting around for almost six months.

Later,

DaveMan

cool, mom has an 02 scab in that color combo with the fx4 package, very sweet. the scary thing is though, sarah said they put it together better than the kranch's as i never got around to popping the hood on it. still though, i would imagine if they make any other colors they will be kranch exclusive. the deep purple/blue sarah talked about sounds nice. how about instead they do a screw dually 4x4 to add to the line, that would sell real nice and go along with the kranch theme real well. i figure for as much as ya'll spend on your trucks they should at least give you a weekend at the ranch for free.

Hey pkagel,

As much as I like my KR, I don't think the Ranch would give someone a free kick in the **** with freshly conditioned sharply pointed KR boots from the gift shop.

My guess is they are in the middle of no where so if they've survived for decades off something other than tourism, then someone with an F-150 with their badge on it probably owes them some royallty or franchise fee.

I would like to visit there still but from my experience talking with them, they aren't the freindliest folks I've ever had to deal with, that's for sure.

Later,
DaveMan
