Their website shows the 1972 jacking instructions decal as being printed with all black ink, but the ILT version has the lower part of the instructions printed in red. Is the Fusick version in fact printed in all black ink?

 

I compared the original from my old ‘72 Supreme survivor with several aftermarket ones. ECS is the only one who got it right with the “dashed” jack under the tire in the pic. All others have solid lines on the jack. Black ink is correct for ‘72.

So if I understand you correctly, all of the print is supposed to be black? And who is ECS?

From my previously-owned original 70k mile original paint '72 Supreme. Note that the vertical jack body below the tire has dashed lines where it's "hidden" - all of the repros I've seen except for ECS have solid lines, and that's just not correct.



And, if you were asking about the Jacking Instructions sticker (if so, my bad), it does have red lettering - here is the original of that one:




Vintage Chief beat me to the ECS link. They also have the nicest completed blue door VIN stickers I've seen - color, size, correct fonts, etc. Here's an ECS sticker for my Fremont-built '72 V Code Supreme next to the original from my Fremont-built '72 442.

Thanks for clarifying that Terry. On another note, here's an interesting observation. The assembly manual shows the jack stowage decal and the jacking instructions placed as seen here...

Yet yours are opposite..


...and btw, what's that silver bulb looking thingy next to your jacking instructions decal?

For what it's worth, they have the '56 trunk jacking instructions wrong too. And that ^^^^^^^silver bulb looking thingy is the trunk light. Has a mercury switch. Pretty neat.

 

Maybe it's all reversed in California - the Viking blue car with the decals and my current V Code are both Fremont builds. : ) I'll check the originals in my Fremont-built '72 442 this weekend and see what their positioning is. The silver thingy is in fact the trunk light as mentioned above but it's the prior style, not the type that mounts to the hinge like most '72s....

Mine is a Fremont car as well...I hope I don't have to switch them back... geez

 

FYI, I called Fusick and the lower print on the decal is in fact red...the pic on their website was done in black and white.

 

This is an old gripe of mine.

Here is what the 56 jack instructions decal should look like, without the wear and tear of course:


And here is what Fusick, Steele Rubber, Dr. Decal and others sell as "Authorized factory reproduction:
