It's always fun, to me, when working on the T, to look for where there is 'Ford' stamped into each and every part. I thought this would be a fun thread to have, posting pictures of all the 'ford's on our Fords.
Here's one, on a rear axle shaft.
Where's the ford on your car?

Thats a fine idea.
However, in a semi related vain, you would do well to get rid of those solid repop hyatt replacements.
Slightly worn hyatt's would serve you better. Solids are hard on axle shafts.
Look for past discussions on the topic.

Great idea! There could be a subcategory of "Made in Canada" stampings. Here's one on a "slightly used" 26-27 runningboard. If you think this should be a seperate thread, that's ok too.

The more the merrier
Anything T related with Ford on it.
It's amazing all the places it can be found.

Here's my 27 motor with Ford Made in Canada on it and a 27 front hub showing Canada on the tag. I'll have took but I think Ford is also stamped on the hub

The OP didn’t specify that the “Ford” logo needed to be an original part, so here is my submission.
I added an electric stop light to my ‘15 touring, which meant i needed a stop light switch. The switch being near the trans inspection cover, I was worried that a tool might inadvertently short out on the exposed wire terminals when working down there, so I 3D printed a switch cover (black, of course) and decided it needed an “authentic” Ford logo.

In this hobby, I got the name Original Smith because of that. I was in my early 20's and was always looking for NOS parts with the Ford script. There was a junk yard in Gardena, that had bins of parts that came from an old store in Los Angeles called HENRY'S and LIZZIES. That is where I used to find a lot of those parts. I used to work there on weekends for free, and was rewarded with lots of those NOS parts for my time.

I haven't yet mastered posting pictures on the Forum so a friend posted these pictures for me just a few posts above.
The first one is a crankshaft with the script and part number shown and towards the bottom is a logo with a T over a W, which stands for Transue Williams, a common Ford parts supplier. You will note that this is a broken crankshaft and that it is a "diamond" shape between the rods. These crankshafts are notorious for breaking for two reasons: The diamond shape is weak and Transue Williams cranks are noted for poor quality. I will never use another one of them.
The second picture shows an original babbitt driveshaft bearing, the one that goes just behind the U Joint. Also shown in red primer is a round fellow wheel joining plate. You very rarely see these. I found this one at a swap meet and later noticed that I had them on both rear wheels on my '14 Touring. Quite rare. The last item is a castle nut from the rear spring perch on a TT truck. Why would Ford put script on an ordinary castle nut? Who knows, but I have found several others like this one.
