As of a few years ago, that decal was still available from Dodge.

Are you going to do your grill too? I love how your truck looks. I have a red one too, but it isn't as nice. Mine has a visor, headache rack, stacks, a tool box, and stripes, but I love how your truck just looks so clean and simple. I would trade for yours any day!

Thanks man, Don't know what I am gonna do with the grille.. Still haven't bought the inserts yet.. Thinking I am gonna get the inserts then the Billet grille that covers it.. Somebody posted it along time ago from MRGrille.com. Can't find the pic of it, but it looks cool..

I was kinda wondering how hard it would be to make a billet grill out of some stainless steel. Cardboard templates? What kind of rod do you need to weld stainless (that won't rust)?

Either a stainless rod or wire whichever type of welder you are using.

Dupont paint..Expensive stuff Though!! Think it is a stock Dodge bumper, it was the only thing that was in good shape when I bought the truck.. So I kept it..lol The frame is done using KBS coatings chasis saver... Used por15 on my last resore and it lasted three yrs .. So I tried something else this time..

Thanks for all the compliments guys..

On the welding stainless, I bought a stainless spool for my mig welder and used it on some stainless and it didn't rust, but it didn't stay pretty for say.. I think the best way to do something like a grille would to use a tig welder with the proper rod.. Might have a better chance with that..

I recently built a push bar out of stainless and welded tabs on for the bumper using a TIG welder, still looks good but it discolored it quite a bit
