I say peel em off and stick em on the toolbox, your truck looks super clean and doesn't need any extra badges, the factory emblems an maybe a Cummins C is all you need

I think the reason they call it "8" is because it has to be going over about 20mph for the pump to make enough pressure to shift right. So it only really works in 2nd thru 5th: 4 gears split = 8 speeds.

I was thinking of putting all that jazz on my w200 crew because I have a GV and all that under it but then again I decided to just keep it stock, but instead of the "200" I am going to replace them with stock NOS correct era "300" chrome badges for a cool clean look.

I think it would look good with the factor badge gone, a cummins power "C" in its place with the 8 speed badge under it.

Then put the pacbrake one under the hood to help show off the beautiful powerplant that ford guys are jealous of.....

No badges, and don't let em know whats under the hood or the floor hump. They'll figure it out when they can barely see your tailites wondering what just happened to their so called fast and furious vehicle.
