I have been looking for dash wood grain decals. Is there a company making them? Thanks

From what I understand only the gauge cluster wood-grain is repro-d however it only comes in the burled wood rather than the correct teak wood. Check out what papabug did :http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... in#p476451 scroll down until you see his post w/ the picture of his gauge cluster. He went to a sign company and had them print up a huge sticker that he used for all of the interior wood-grain on his truck. Here is another link to one of papabug's other posts where he did the rest of the wood-grain: http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =woodgrain. Hope that helps!

I'd suggest trying local body shops or the local 3M dealer for usable woodgrain scraps. You might also be interested in this listing...

Doesn't seem like Dennis Carpenter gives a fig about the accuracy of the woodgrain for the '69 repop Ranger bezel.
