You can buy letters at Home Depot or most office supply stores. I can't imagine that trucks have to have special ones. I've seen some trucks where the letters look like they've been passed down a few generations.

You can often find a local sign company who will make your letters for about the same price as the individual letters which will look much better.

Nothing looks worse than a new truck with mail box type lettering, (usually not straight/lined up).Never understood that.You can buy a truck, buy you cant afford to go to a sign shop an spend an extra $50-100 on quality, professional lettering/stickers. :roll:

It's funny when the lettering starts off big and gets smaller as the space runs out.

Here's an idea...skip the lettering and tell the DOT officer that you were going so fast it must have flown off...lol

I have a friend who used to be a neighbor and moved back to IN - he has a sign/decal business he plays around with and I got him to cut them for me.

While searching for lettering I ran across this website http://www.signspecialist.com/letter...lettering.html Have a look at their picture gallery of examples of their work. I sent them some sample pics that I made up on the computer of how I wanted the lettering to look and they gave me a very good quote. The font was not what I wanted and I didn't feel like going back and forth on what I wanted, so I just had my friend do them as he knows me and what I like.

Got my lettering today. Took about 1/2 an hour for them to make and maybe an hour for me to put it on. Pretty easy. $100 for both sides.

Dont forget to add that KYU number if you are going to run thru KY. You will still get a ticket if its not posted. Fine was $250+ a few years ago.
