Good grief I hope I dont have nightmares about cleaning my 5 ton after reading this, I gave up on laying on my back under a truck with a pressure washer 25 years ago and hope to NEVER have to do it again!
I would call Rick Larsen military stencils he has kits for vehicles that includes everything right down to the stickers for the gauges. Great quality and very complete!
Madams I have sure been looking at these and a few of them sure look good, along with a few that didnt look so good, when I am ready I will be looking a lot harder at them. In watching the auctions it looks like they are going in the 19 to 22k range and they seem to be in the 3 to 5K mile...
