In the 73-up models they had the Explorer hood emblem.. looked kinda like a Lincoln emblem turned on its side with the word Explorer in it.

I had a 72 F-100 that grandpa put a "Mack Truck" bulldog on the front. He did it right and it looked pretty unique. I now own a 71 F-250 Highboy....no hood ornament, nor have I ever seen another one.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
