Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Finally got the truck lettered, what do you think?
We got a disk with all the graphics so we can do letterheads and shirts too. No more playing around with the logo........ it's done!

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Well, the picture doesn't do it justice. I'll see if I cant get a better one when the sun goes over the hillside.
Here's the art work.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Nice, Jason!
Keep your shirts and other wearables simple. I have a great source for these items if you need them. My number is on my profile on the "other" site.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
If anyone is looking for vinyl lettering, I would recommend these guys.
www.signsrus.com I just had them do some signs for me and they were less than half the price of multiple quotes I got locally. I also got my signs in two days. Applying vinyl to a vehicle is so simple, you'd be amazed. Just have them send you the vinyl and you stick it on.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Thanks for the compliments guys.
It ran about $750 for the first truck and set up and art work. These guys also clear coat after the lettering is on. Any trucks after this get done for about $550. I'll have my Formans truck done next. I've offered a truck sign incentive for the guys that have nice trucks. They'll get $100 per month. The Forman gets a slightly better deal than that since he uses his truck for hauling stuff around.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
I did the same for a guy working for me a couple of years ago. He wanted to borrow $500 to put towards a nice utility trailer (it was about $2k total).
I told him I'd "donate" the $500 in return for logo-ing the trailer, so spent another 6-$700 on the lettering...and parted ways with him about 6 months later... . Oh well, easy come, easy go.J |

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
In hindsight, I should have bought the trailer from him afterwords, it came out nicer than the one that I have...doh.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
nice Jason, looks great
![]() J, how is the single axle trailer? Been looking at trailers and wondered how the single axle would do? I do basements, kitchens and baths so I need it for tile saw, framing etc... lumber gets delivered and I have a rack on my truck.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Hey Kevin
It's been fine for me, but it's all I've ever had. Mine's a 6x12 for toting tools and it's packed. Seems to ride fine and I can maneuver it pretty well. It was one of those home dumpo jobs, I think about 2,800 new iirc. The only problem is the interior height is only about 5'6" (i'm only 5-7) and I'm always forgetting and knocking my head. ![]() . Luckily, the trailer's been pretty much sitting...oh, wait, that's NOT good.J |

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
A couple of things. We also have a late model F-150, also red. We put our website in BIG letters all along the bed of the pickup, both sides and on the top of the tailgate. You'd be surprised at how many calls we get. I wish I knew how to post pix here.
for once something is cheaper here in Canada than the U.S. I paid $250 per truck. Setup and art was about $100.00 It would be cheap advertising at 3 times the price. |

We've only had this van a short while, but for some reason we didn't ever letter the previous one. Too busy I guess.

DavidC...Is your name actually David Cook? If so, your life must have been hell during the last season of American Idol.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Looks good Dave. I'd go with the shortened version on the side with the doors and the full size on the other.
Maybe add a list of work you do to the doors.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
Go full sized on both sides. Go right over the windows if there are any.

Re: Finally Got The Truck Lettered!
We plan on painting over the driver side cargo window, the passenger side is handy for backing up. The problem is the window gaskets, but I don't see why they can't be painted white first.
Good Luck Dave
