PE for AMT '78 Ford Pick-up

[Bainford]

Does anyone know of a photo etch set for the AMT Ford Super Stones pick-up? I am actually looking for badges for a '73 F-350 Super Camper Special build. If there is a comprehensive PE set out there for '70s Ford pick-ups, it would solve a few problems. Thanks.

Model Car Garage has some, but theirs are aimed at the earlier Moebius pickups.  I wish there were products specifically for the AMT trucks.

I would check out the Ray's decals. I know he makes a set for the '78-'79 Bronco. He may make a set for F-350. I wish he would make a set for these pickups. I need the F-100 emblems myself.

He did have a set with all the F series nameplates at one point.

A prayer for him wouldn't hurt either as his partner/lady suddenly passed away last month.

This is the one he offers for the '73-'79 pickups and Broncos. Unfortunately, not 350 or camper special decals. 

He makes another sheet with decals for '73 up to '96 but it doesn't have them either.

Many thanks for the suggestion, guys. I checked Model Car Garage, but nothing for this kit. I checked Ray's Decals, too. Some very cool stuff there, but as Steve noted, nothing for F-350 or Camper Special. Nonetheless, some other cool stuff on that sheet for a 70s F-series build.

It would be nice to see a decent PE set for the AMT Ford pick-up. Given the many-varied build possibilities, and its enduring popularity, it would seem a natural for a PE set.

I agree. Problem is, not many people want to build an F-350 and even fewer want to do the work it takes to convert it to a regular long bed. Sadly, I doubt there's much of a demand for a photo etch set for the F-350.

Yeah, I feel you're right, Roger. I'm exploring other options, including using a photograph of the badges. Still chewing on that idea a bit. I did buy the decal set from Ray's, though. Some other good there.
