Need a letter "D" for the hood (1970)

Post by redstone65 »

I have a 1970 Ranger that's missing the "D" on the hood if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with. I'd like to find an old one so it'd match better. Pic of missing letter:

Bummer. I am trying to keep the look of the old set since the hood has “patina” all over it. I’m afraid new ones would just stick out too much. Thanks so much for the time though Busboy. I appreciate it.

Well it looks like my letters are from a 69 which is different that those that are on a 70 and later. If you don't locate some in a couple of weeks I can get one from a local supplier.
