Pattern of the decals in the kit:



Here are their other offerings in their Ebay store...note the last one on the right, they have all kinds of options...

I think I know what I'm going to do with my spare set of faded 1986 Burlwood bezels...

Cory - I got lost when you said "note the last one on the right".  There are so many different ways to scroll through it I don't know which one you meant.  Can you give us a screen shot?

But this is REALLY encouraging!  Most burled wood bezels badly need the purple covered up, so are an excellent candidate for a trial.

Wonder if that's Perry?

Looking at the area code he listed, probably not...

[Rembrant]

Oh, you can even order them in RUST!...lol. They would look right at home in the old 1980.

I was wondering that. Did anybody on here ever send him a set of bezels?

I have a nice set of 1986 Burlwood bezels I'd cover up. I wonder how the silver brushed aluminum would look?

Gary,

Here is the actual Ebay sale where there is a drop-down menu for the pattern you want:

Lots and lots of choices...

[kramttocs]

Good question - I can't recall if he got some in hand or not.

I would love to see that rust in person. Or even better a photo of it on your bezel

Well, what I originally wanted to do was to make the 1986 Burlwood bezel that I have look like a black weave 1980 bezel. Only thing close would be Carbon Fiber, and it might not look at home...

Ahhh crap...

It just occurred to me that while this kit is advertised as fitting 1980-1986, if you look at the center bezel decal patterns, it technically only fits 1980-1984, presumably Rosewood or XLS?...I can't image trying to apply these decals over a weave pattern. Dang it.

Maybe I'll have to send this guy my 1986 center bezel...

Cory - You are telling me something I don't know.  What is the difference between the 80 - 85 and the 85/86?

The radios. The decal kit is for a center bezel for the old style radio with knobs. Wouldn't fit 1985-1986.

Unless I'm missing something...they wouldn't fit the 1986 bezel I have here. I have one for an '83 but I'd have to dig it out (with a ladder...lol).

[Rembrant]

Actually, the bezel pattern they have shown won't even fit the 1980-1984 radio bezel...

I'm lost...lol.

[Gary Lewis]

I think you need to contact him, Cory.  Maybe you can send him your '86 radio bezel.  And if so, I may have an 80 - 84 bezel if needed.

I tried. He has his Ebay page set up so that you cannot contact him (or her).

The instrument bezel decals look correct, but the center bezel ones I don't know. The 1985-1986 ones wouldn't be easy with the contours around the radio opening.

I went through the "contact the seller" process and sent him this note:

The members on the Bullnose Forum are very interested in your kits for the 1980 - 86 Ford trucks. But we would like to talk to you about some issues that we think we are seeing with them. Is there a way to contact you? You can see what we are talking about in this thread: http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Bullnose-Instrument-amp-Center-Bezel-Decal-Kits-from-Rdash-on-Ebay-td82741.html#a82780 (I hope it will come through.)

Cool. That option doesn't work for me, so I assume it is turned off for international customers. It also shows no shipping to Canada. Pretty common, I'm used to that lol.

I got this email back:

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please let us know how we can assist and provide any information needed. You can do so in your reply to this email.

So what do we want to ask?  Something like this?

We are 1980 - 86 Ford truck enthusiasts and are very excited to see that you are making a kit to overlay the instrument and radio bezels for these truck.  But from what we can see the radio bezel pattern wouldn't appear to work for the 1980 - 84 trucks, which have the Ford-specific radios.  And from what we see the radio bezel pattern won't work with 1985/86 radios that are single DIN style.

What bezel did you use to create the decal?  We have bezels we can send you if that would help.

Help me word it, guys!

[Rembrant]

Just what you have there Gary is great.
