Body / Glass: Studebaker Tailgate Lettering

[mjeansonne]

I am fitting a 1996 Dodge Bed on my 1963 Champ Pickup. Replacing the 8' Dodge Bed it came with originally. Its going to look good I think. More like it belongs on the Champ! I am looking for STUDEBAKER lettering that goes on the tailgate. Anyone know where I can obtain the lettering, or any ideas? Alternatively, if I can't find the letters, I'm thinking of giving a sign maker a picture and having him paint them on the tailgate.

As always, thanks for any answers!

I bought a set from Doug Sterrett a couple of months ago.

Buying them from Ray would be making a donation to his paypal account.

Does anybody have another style of lettering?

Check with any sign company that deals with vinyl lettering. Most can make any style lettering any size and usually can place them on a transfer material to keep the letters straight, aligned and spaced.

Thanks Thunder!

I assume that you know that they were originally painted (first thing painted on the tail gate).
