Hi,
Looking for information for a customer of mine. I do custom decals/graphics for vehicles and have been asked to recreate the dodge lettering on the back of a 61-73 era pickup truck. My question is, has dodge changed their font between that time and now? Can I use the current dodge font and assume that it will match? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I would like to give my customer the correct information before I commit to the project.
Thanks
Matthew

The font has changed a few times since then. I kind of think this is the kind you're looking for, but I'm not sure. I have a Dodge emblem from my grandfather's old 1968 Dodge Fargo, Canadian built, and it has a different looking emblem. I have it hanging on my wall, it's about a foot long...

this is the back of my truck, it is a 1978 and all the pin strips and decals are NOS.....so.....if bleeddodge is saying the font in his pic in from a '63 then the year your looking for must be the same.

Thanks so much guys! That was exactly the font I was looking for. Now I'll be able to get back to my customer so I can reletter his pickup. You guys have made my short time here very productive. Thanks a lot.
