I've taken a few classes on them, but it's still inevitable that I will then come across one I've never seen before and just look silly trying to look like I know what I'm doing haha. 11 hours ago, IUEC135ELEVATOR said: If they would have waited five more minutes they could have saved themselves 30 minutes and the customer $20,000.... But the firebugs love their axes??? I really hope someone was legitimately dying in that elevator to make them do that. Otherwise it just seems like unnecessary property damage. I'll always make an attempt to get in, but waiting for the elevator tech has always worked out for me. Usually just a little talking to the occupants of the car gets most of the anxiety and panic under control. Sorry to derail the thread a bit, but jeez. That's ridiculous. Does that style outer door have a manual elevator key slot to get the doors open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 No not selling I actually paid somebody to cut these out for me, enamel filled them, sanded them down, clear-coated them. Well, on the bright side, if everybody thinks they're goofy then I won't have any issues with them getting stolen off the truck??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff T Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Interesting design, I debated about going with one of the several Godzilla designs out there, but in the end decided to keep it simple.

IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) And that is one sweet paint Scheme on that truck every time I look at your truck it reminds me of mid 80s f150s...??? That's a good-looking emblem, I tried finding just a 73 at first but couldn't seem to find any online, there's one company that was talked about on the other Ford Forum whatever it is but every time you click the link to that company it said out of stock.. So I bought some 73 ones off eBay and they were pieces of garbage I put them on the truck and took them quick because they were stamped aluminum and weren't the factory look that I am still looking for. I would pay top dollar if I could find a 73L emblem that was identical in size and quality to the 67 emblem... That's what I would really like in the long run.

FL Lariat Driver Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think it is kind of like having personalized license plates. You either figure out what the person intended or you keep driving and forget about it. I like the look of your emblem by itself but I'm not sure I would have my truck wear one. But you own the truck, do what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstFord22 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @IUEC135ELEVATOR what did you decide, keeping, or removing them? I haven’t looked yet but, I would like to put all black Godzilla ones on mine (whenever that will be). I’m getting Agate black with the BAP, so I want to keep the truck blacked-out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo...I decided to change it up. The truck is now the 7.3 DREADNOUGHT, I find the name quite fitting?. Heavily armed battleship?. Some will think it is stupid some will like it. Complete honesty here, what do you think? I think this is so awesome! When Ford came out with the 7.3 "Godzilla", I was disappointed because Godzilla just sounds so bleek and ordinary. I mean...we all know who Godzilla is, but to piggyback the name of Godzilla in the hopes of having the same recognition for big and badass I think is a bit cheeky coming from Ford. I would of much rather of seen them come out with a name of their own and in your case, you nailed it with Dreadnought! If I had a 7.3, I'd want this emblem displayed on my truck in a heartbeat! ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thTimer Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I don't really like any kind of extra labels. It seems like advertising the vehicle to a potential buyer. I bought it, no more need to advertise. I find Chevies to have some of the most cringe worthy like the year(s) Camaros had ABS in the wheel hubs. And ABS is now like, meh, whatever. But now those Camaro owners are stuck with that if they want to stay stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
