Anyone have a picture of the correct lettering/decals to use on a 1948 B?

It looks like 1948 was the year they switched from "long A & S, blue letters" to "long A & S black letters". I don't know exactly when. Check out Tony's website, he has some decals and pics. I bought my decals from him.

What's the difference between Mylar and Vinyl?

Appearance wise?

One harder to put on than the other?

The Vinyl look awesome. The vinyl decals are trimmed around the letters. Click on the link above then follow Tony's link to "instructions for applying decals". It has the instructions laid out and even a video. You can gage for yourself the level of difficulty.

As Ryan mentioned, the Vinyl are much more professional looking and OEM looking. They are awesome. Got a set from TC for my IB. They look great!

If its a show tractor of ANY kind, go for vinyl. They are each an individual letter that is die-cut and they look GREAT! Mylar, depending on how well you put them on, look O.K. but can look poor.

BTW, my B is a 48' and it had the blue letters with the long "A" & "S".... HTH
