The Hood Letter Set – “F-O-R-D” is an OE-style exterior trim restoration component designed for 1967–1969 Ford F-Series Bumpside pickup trucks, including F100, F250, and F350 models. This letter set restores the factory-correct hood identification found on original trucks, completing the front-end appearance with proper spacing, size, and styling. It is a key detail for classic truck restoration parts projects focused on originality and correct exterior presentation.
From the factory, Ford equipped Bumpside trucks with individual “F-O-R-D” letters mounted across the leading edge of the hood. Over time, original hood letters are often lost, damaged, pitted, or removed during repainting and bodywork. Missing or incorrect lettering detracts from the truck’s authenticity and overall visual impact. Replacing the hood letters restores the iconic factory look that defines the 1967–1969 Ford truck front end.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, these hood letters match original factory specifications for size, font, contour, and mounting design. Each letter is formed to replicate the original appearance and proportions used by Ford, ensuring proper alignment and a factory-correct look once installed. Accurate reproduction is especially important on Bumpside trucks, where hood lettering is a prominent styling feature.
This set includes four individual letters spelling “F-O-R-D”, providing a complete replacement solution rather than mixing old and new components. The set is well suited for stock restorations, exterior refresh projects, or replacing missing hood trim on original trucks.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this hood letter set is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable trim solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct restorations.

Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
