New Member Question: Red and yellow rear placards

Search fleabay for 6060 Series Military Vehicle Delineator Sign Face.
They ship from Italy. I purchase these as needed from this source. Always good service.
The Part No: DR-9999-3270-7 for the 20cm x 20cm
Mine have always arrived in the original 3M cardboard packaging.

He has been out of them for a while now.

got 'em in the mail today. Very well packaged, large "manila" envelope, plastic insert with four stickers between two sheets of thin cardboard like the stuff on the back of legal notepads. NOT folded.

Thinking about putting a pair on some aluminum sheet for riveting to body instead of laying over CARC or mudflap rubber.

Overkill, but I like overkill and attention to detail.

YMMV.

Upshot being, the guy I referenced in France HAS them (20 cm style anyway) and they arrive faster than I'd imagined.

I stuck them on thin magnetic boards .........

I had no idea they were this hard to find. I gotta say, I never really liked the way these look on MV's.

To each his own. I personally like the way it sets the truck off (beyond what the bare aluminum tailgate does). I haven't seen another M1078 in personal hands with them so consider mine a bit unique.

On the 5ton, they were already mounted on a rigid steel plate as they were take offs and I just drilled extra holes and tucked them in front of the mud flap. On my M998, I mounted on thin sheet metal that I got from Home Depot almost like tin and cut them wide at the top so they tucked into the airlift bumper mudflap and bolted through the holes. When you look at them, they look like they are on the rubber but not

The OE application for either size has a 3m corresponding hard plastic back that the sticker is stuck on and then most just bolt through the entire assembly depending on vehicle or stuck on directly to tail gate, panel etc.

They look better than red/white DOT tape and make the back of the truck stand out with a military look.
