After seeing so many nice trucks that have been de-badged, I decided to jump in and do the same to mine. The only ones I did not remove are the tailgate decals.

Looks good. May want to address that bumper next.... Did it leave any paint ghosts?

the SLT badge left a ghost on the pass. side but that is really the only one. I need to buff the paint on the driver side where the 2500 was (not a good idea to use a scotch pad to try to remove the glue ).

the bumper will be the next part of the body to be addressed, after I do the brakes on the back.

I am trying to decide on building a heavy duty bumper or finding a wrecked sport that has good bumpers, headlights, and grille and having them painted to match and put those on.

I am leaning more towards the sport option, even though it is more expensive.

May do something like this:



That is awesome looking. Now to figure out what color goes well with the dark green.

WOW I like that, how about green grille and all black bumper.
Wasn't someone doing photoshop work on truck pics here?

how did you get the 2500 off? Also do you need a good bumper? I'm in lima.

Well I started with fishing line but that kept breaking, so then I switched to some wire which didnt break as often.

To get the glue off I just picked off the big stuff and used some tar and bug remover I found in the garage.

What I would like to do is have all the silver sprayed with black Line-x, then i could do black bumpers.

What ya' got? I may be interested.

they have a 3m adhesive remover that is amazing for taking the glue off at oreilly's.

Local guy did this to his 2500 about 8 yrs ago. WD-40 cuts them right off.
