Title: Fender emblems
Post by: Farmboy on December 16, 2008, 10:44:47 am

I am restoring my 86 GMC 4x4 diesel for the second time.  Presently at 670,000 klms.  I am looking for new fender emblems for a Sierra Classic, several sites have them for Chevy models but not for GMC.  Anyone know where they would be available?

GMC emblems are few and far between.  A salvage yard is your best bet..

 His should have "diesel" on them, below the 2500.
You might look into having yours restored if there not pitted up.

Thanks for the replies, the ones on ebay are for a 2500 and my truck is a 1500.  Last time I hand painted them and they were good for awhile but the carwash is hard on them.  Where can I get them restored?

 Plastic/metal have them rechromed and paint the details yourself. Car washes are hard on stuff, I never use them.
