FAQ
FAQ - Answers to commonly asked questions
You want to order - how does it work? How does payment work?
Once you’ve decided what you want to order - just let me know and we will use email to confirm your options and other information. Once you’ve seen and approved the rough draft of how everything will look. I will send a payment request through your choice of Paypal, Venmo or mailed check. You can mail a check if you prefer. Once payment is made - I create a preview for you to look over. Once you’re happy with the preview - I will create the final copies of everything and ship them out to you with tracking.
Why should I choose Vintage Correct labels and decals over anyone else?
I feel my labels are the best out there - and I think if you compare pictures of products available from other websites - then you will agree. I have years of experience in the graphic design field and have ensured that each label looks exactly like the originals. Text has to look perfect - the exact same as GM factory. Colors need to match those of the originals. Layout and spacing needs to be perfect. Option information and spelling has to match the truck data books. In addition - you get to see your label during the design process and make sure it also looks perfect to you - before its sent out. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
Can I contact you to ask questions even if I'm not ready to order yet?
Yes absolutely. Feel free to ask any questions you have. You aren't under any obligation to order anything.
What do I need to do to get started?
If you have an existing SPID in your truck - all I will need is a picture of that emailed or texted to me. If you don't have the SPID decal in your glove-box then make a list of the options you know your truck has and send me pictures of the interior and exterior. We can then figure out all the options you have on your truck. However, please have some idea of some of the options you want on your SPID.
Do you make square body 73-87 SPIDs?
Yes I can make these. They are $169 because they are more work. You need to know all of the options you want listed. The square bodies had many more options than the 1967-72 years. I have some but not all of the data books for 73-87 so it is very hard for me to figure out all the options.
Can I add options to those that appear on my original SPID? What if I don't know the proper codes or name?
Sure, if that's what you want to do. Whatever you want added stays private. I don’t use ANY customer SPIDs or information for advertising. I can add factory correct option names and codes for the year of your truck and put them in the proper order. Not sure which options normally came on which trim levels of truck? No problem - I can help you with that too. To figure out the options - you will need to send me pictures of the interior and exterior of your truck.
Can I get a SPID made that is mostly or entirely custom options?
Sure, if you want a SPID that is mostly (more than 3) custom options that never came in the 67-72 years - I can make that for you. The price of a SPID that is entirely custom options is $169 because it is much much more work and time. Just tell me all the items you want listed and I will abbreviate them to fit in the 20 character space allowed for each line of the SPID. I will create custom codes for each of the options also.
I want to replace my current damaged SPID and can't read the options OR there is no SPID anymore and I don't know the options.
Take a good quality picture of the current faded or damaged SPID you have now and send it to me - I can often decipher what the options were. If you don't have a SPID anymore - and are not sure of the options - Take lots of pictures inside, outside and under the truck and send them to me and we can figure out which options the truck currently has.
Will I get to see the SPID or window sticker before you ship it?
Yes - I will always send you previews of any items you've ordered to make sure everything looks good to you before I ship.
Can I get my SPID done as a rush order?
I can try to accommodate a rush order if you need you SPID super quickly. A rush job requires me moving your order ahead of anyone else’s I am working on - and the charge for this rush request is an additional $30.
I want a window sticker but I don't know which dealer my truck was originally sold at. Now what?
If you know the state or city your truck was originally sold in - we can choose a dealer in that state or city for the window sticker. Or if you don't know which state it was sold in then you can choose any state you want and I will find all the dealer information needed.
What forms or types of payment do you accept?
I prefer to use PayPal or Venmo for all sales. I mail all items ASAP after payment is complete. If you don't have PayPal or Venmo you can use check or money order but this is much slower and will increase the time it takes to get your items shipped.
How long will my order take?
Orders typically take 2 weeks from the time you contact me until the time everything is shipped out. It can take longer than that if people have placed orders ahead of you. Full Truck Documentation packages will take approx 2 weeks to ship.
