Thanks man!
Well, i haven't researched it yet, but i'm assuming the emblems are just glued on like other trucks.
I'm going to keep the front and rear Ford badges, but lose the 3 F150 badges and the 4x4 stickers.
Other times i've debadged vehicles, just wait for a warm day, get out the heat gun and gently apply heat to the outside of the badges. Then, take 20# or so test fishing line and 'saw' the badge off using the line between the emblem and the body. you'll then be left with glue on your paint, so use Goo gone, or citrus juice & WD40 to get it off, and voila! all done.
the 4x4 stickers should just peel off with heat.
I'm trying to find some pics of other debaged oxford white trucks and make sure it looks good. or will do some simple photochoppin

Mr. Wiggles, looks good man. Forgive me if I am asking something that is common knowledge, but you were refering to debadging. How do you go about doing that and making it look clean? I am especially concerned about the side badges, on my 06 the black inside the F150 emblem is flaking bad and looks like poo. Would I have to pull off the badges, weld up the holes, and repaint?

Thanks for the info re: debadging. That's kind of disappointing but i'd rather find out now than after i tried to take them off. Maybe those overlays are the answer to break them up a bit.

Here is a post where I describe how I painted them black on my dark shadow gray truck. I also added the dark shadow gray inlays from PatriotDecals.com and they look way better than just leaving them black.
