Didn't know where to put this...pic heavy

Didn't really know where to put this, not really a project but it sorta is.
I had bought a older International dump truck in Dec. and had it lettered yesterday, I don't have stickers on my trucks it's always hand painted, just this is the first one that I have taken pictures of start to finish, kinda when a little bit old school on this one. The guy I have do my trucks has been lettering trucks by hand for 34 years, he does a great job. Hope this thread doesn't bore people to death.

Looks great! It's so easy to just have them lettered with stickers these days, it's really awesome to see people still having it done by hand! He did a really nice job!

Thank you! I have never had one of my big trucks "stickerd", the fella that did the truck in the pictures has been lettering my family's trucks for 30 years.

Thanks, I am not really a IH guy as far as trucks, most of my fleet is peterbilt and sterling/ford but this truck is CLEAN and has a almost new body on it, and it was very inexpensive so I jumped on it. I have been using it a lot this spring to pull my 20 ton tag trailer moving skidders and such and it is slick for that, gets around good off road and turns on a dime compared to my other trucks.
