    Well I tried to do this long ago but to no avail. Found another source and they are going to be a reality in 2 weeks. This is a CAD pic of what is being done. The black around the MAVERICK logo is just there to show detail. The area around the logo will be dug out and so that the logo is raised, hope that makes sense. The plate is 1/4" thick and is the made after the 70 sill plate in length and width, and only has 4 mounting holes like the 70. I would like to say that there will be a "Grabber", "Stallion", "sprint", "Comet" and "Comet GT" but this will probably be the only ones ever produced as the biggest part of the cost is the intial design setup. I hope there are a few people that like them.

    I paid for and will be receiving 10 sets in aprox. 2 weeks. I'm not in it to make money I just like to do things that are a nice touch. I showed John how much I paid for them and I'm going to post it now. Like I said I hope enough people like them That I can pass them along. If there is enough intrest I will have another set of 10 made. I paid $981. to have 10 sets made, now the next set would be cheaper to me but I will not sell them for less than I sell these sets for. I figure I'm the one taking the risk and it wouldn't be fair to the people who buy the first sets. I hope this doesn't bother anyone. Once I have them I will take a pic and post it so that you can judge whether or not it is woth it to you. So anyways it is $981 plus shipping(which shouldn't be that much spread over 10 sets) so you're looking at about $100 plus shipping to you, maybe a couple $ more depending on shipping to me. I'm keeping 2 sets because I have 2 mavs, that leaves 8. If you 4 are serious that takes up 5 more. That leaves 3 sets. I'm going to hold a set to see if Dan might want a set. That leaves 2 possibly 3 sets. Sorry for the length of this post I just wanted to explain myself. Also compare this price to a mass produced sport truck piece and I think that these are a pretty good value. Thanks.

    Ward, it looks pretty nice! (y)

    Looks like I am at the bottom of list here, but I would definitely want one set for sure, and possibly two sets if you do another run.

    Thank you for your efforts!

    Looks like I'm too far down but if some open up or you do a second run I'm in for sure.

    It looks like the intrest shown has the cause for a second run right now. I just never knew how they would be received, so I'll get the second run in the works. Thank you people, Ward
