Oval Badge....
Ok, after hours of research I understand that to remove the oval on the tailgate you basically heat it up and either gently pry it off or use fishing wire. My question is, once you have it off how do you separate the pieces? I have a new custom oval sticker that I want to install in place of the raised lettering ford. And I also want to scuff the chrome surround and paint it.

Mine is an 04 and nothing is raised on the oval, it's smooth. I guess the newer ones have a raised emblem, I hadn't noticed.

Ok, so yesterday while I was at the mall I stopped by a half dozen or so of different year 150's and rubbed their oval. I came to the conclusion they all have raised lettering. So when I got home I removed mine and realized you guys are right, it is one piece and the the ford is stamped from the back side. So I took my trusty body hammer and started hammering away and then a little time on the grinder wheel and some sanding, wala....nice and smooth. Now I just need to paint it black and install the new sticker.....on a side note, did anyone know that the oval is made in Italy?
