Default 35 pickup Tail gate lettering

My 35 pickup tailgate Ford Script. I believe I've read here that the Ford lettering was always the same color as the body ?. Could I ask if that is not true what color options were there ?. It's too bad that handsome lettering doesn't add some style. Thanks

I agree. If you paint that script lettering and the V8 logo it will cost you judging points, but the tailgate with the painted script catches the eye and makes the bed "pop" in my opinion. A creme color was used for all the pinstriping on the tonner.

If you are going to show it at an Early Ford V-8 meet and don't care if you lose a point or two go ahead and paint it. It will look great and you will definitely like it.

At one Hershey event, there was a fellow selling tailgates with the "Ford" upside down. I wish I had bought one.
