Installed new period correct accessory

[powell72]

I came up with this earlier in the week, I figured since '72 was an election year and this is an original it would fit the look of my truck.


BTW, I know this is political, but for the sake of the thread getting locked, let focus on the point of the sticker, which is for a laugh.







Here's my helper, exhausted after the install-

That's perfect!!

Looks great. I love the period correct "accessories" on our trucks.

Im going to put these mud flaps on my 71 one of these days. I think they are from that general area. I remember them from when I was a kid.

Lets see more stuff like these period correct items on our trucks....anyone?

Chris,I think you`re safe on the politics.Agnew rhymes with`72.I`m looking at that sticker and thinking,"I wouldn`t be pasting stickers all over my brand new truck if I was that guy".Or better yet,"The election`s over.Get over it".

I was proud of my period correct elongated bar & shield Harley decal I cut in the middle and put on the slider of my`71 Custom Camper/20.I also had a Genuine Chevrolet parts decal on the wing vent.

Looks like you done wore that pup out.

Good idea Chris, I like it. I take it that you needed your helper to lick the back of it?

Cool mud flaps CG, haven't seen those since, well.............

Neither am I, I usually like one well placed sticker, and that's it. I wanted the sticker to look like it's been there since the truck was new.

Powell, that is very cool! It is fun to do stuff like that. I guarantee you there will be some folks seeing that, glancing away, then thinking "HUH????" lol

Good stuff man

Do you have a source for these old campaign stickers?

love it, LOOOOVE IT!!

I'm not a big bumper sticker fan either but 1 or 2 are alright.
I do like Chris's sticker.
I had the same idea a while back for a time sensitive decal.
The original owner worked for Eastern Airlines and I decided to leave his parking sticker on front.


I then decided to add a 1970's era Braves sticker on the back window.

I'd love to tell you I found it while scouring antique stores and garage sales, but I found it sitting on my butt on ebay.

I had a 69 Wyoming tax decal on my windshield.... and like an idiot I scraped it off when I got my rig.

guess what I'm looking for now....

I just did a search for 'Nixon bumper sticker' on Ebay, plenty more of them on there. I am considering doing the same

After seeing Chris', I found a few sites that have them. cafepress.com is one.

I am definitely NOT one to put any kind of sticker on my vehicles but if I were doing this I'd use the LOSING candidates. Basically, few people remember them (McGovern/Shriver?) or if you really want to challenge people see if you can find an über rare McGovern/Eagleton sticker!

Oh and I would love to find a small "Ok Used Cars" round decal for the wind wing.

[72BlckButy]

Lovin' the new accessory Chris!

[Lemield]

I like it Chris!

[jerry moss]

i have a few on my old 77 blazer-the paint is shot anyhow. one of them says "i'm only driving like this to piss you off" and another says " my child was inmate of the month at the county jail".

I love the sticker. I apply stickers to magnets. I get magnet stock from craft stores. Apply sticker, cut it out and you have a sticker that can be removed when you want.
I also get cool fridge magnets from cutlery stores, like rt 66, and O.K. used cars. I put them on the glove box door.

mooneyes has some neat "old" stickers, very B.A.

My mom has always collected campaign buttons-she has most all of them going back to the '40's, but her most prized-if fact one of her most prized possesions period-is a cheap little Agnew wristwatch, done in the mickey mouse watch style. She used to wear it all the time, and since it was a very cheap watch to start with, it would always break. She would take it to a watch repair guy, and finally the guy told her that it was too valuable to keep wearing, and that he didn't want the liability of losing it or doing major damage.
