FORD Louisville Question ???

[scubadiver411]

I am building my first big truck and I am getting ready to paint the box.... On the parts tree there are two long thin pieces that are the lenth of the box and about an inch wide (part #137), there are also two shorter pieces that aren't quite the width of the box and about 1/2 inch wide (also part #137). Anyone know what these 4 pieces are used for ?? I can't find them on the instruction sheet anywhere and can't figure out where they could or should go.... Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Thank-you...

Those are left over from the original version of the kit when it had full-length Ryder Rental decals. Those are for mounting the decals to the side of the box.

The shorter piece was for mounting the RYDER text decal.

I built that Kit about a year ago and was wondering the same thing then......Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info... I won't feel bad now if I use them to make storage boxes out of them to put under the box along the frame rails.

Really? That's what those are for? I was wondering the same thing; just never thought to ask. Where exactly do they go? I'm building the Short Hauler as a Ryder truck. Do I need those parts? What color should they be?

They were for the 1971 style Ryder graphics with a full length horizontal red/white/black stripe.

The color would be sort of a lemon yellow.

That's the one I'm doing. Looks like one goes on the rear door, too.

I'm using the Tamiya Yellow. That's pretty bright yellow. Makes your eyes hurt!
