1961 CJ-5 Stencil Lettering

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here knows if the 1961 CJ-5 had Willy's decal in the center of the tailgate. I found the 4wheelDrive one and I have seen pictures of JEEP on the side between the door opening and fender.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I am trying to give it some character since it has a fiberglass tub that is completely smooth with no factory style details on it. Hopefully someday I will switch out the tub with one that looks more like a 60's era CJ-5.

 

You could check with a local striping artist and have it done with air-brush with highlights that make it appear to be embossed.just a idea,i plan on having the JEEP on the sides and tailgate done that way on my project.

Ah, the original post was kind of confusing, but I unnerstand now! If I remember correctly, wasn't there a member here once upon a time that was making the "WILLYS" and "JEEP" vinyl decals? They were applied right onto the raised letters? Been a couple years ago.....

 

That is exactly my plan. I have a vinyl cutter because my cousin and I are starting a side business making vinyl decals and I though why not make myself some decals to mimic the factory lettering.

 

this guy has the JEEP ones

I was thinking the same thing, I would like to get the block lettered "JEEP" on the sides behind the front fender to add a bit to the smooth 'glass on mine. I'll be interested if someone comes up with something.

 

Hi I recognize you from JeepTalk I am JeepNWilly there.
I looked at the link and the guy has good stuff

 

I was just checking it out also, but I didn't see it all in caps like my '59 originally had.

 

I have a woodshop and I make a lot of signs. I have a program if someone can upload a good photo of whatever it is, or whatever we want to make or cut, I can send it to you in a .dxf or .dwg file so you can cut it in viny.

All I need is a clear photo or somthing off the internet.

 

Can you just fool around with your computers fonts until you find a good one?



WILLYS

 

i like that one...very art-deco

 

I am trying to find a good picture of the tailgate stamping to see if I can replicate it in vinyl

 

Found this picture and the website has the dimmenssions as 1.5 x 7 inches does that sound about right?

 

Yea if you can confirm the dimm "1.5 x 7 inches" it would be great.

 

Thanks
