That looks like it was custom made, being metal, the precise lines, it looks like it was cut on some kinda of plasma table or with a water jet table.

Start calling local machine shops or fabrication shops, see if they would be interested in making you a new one. That would definitely be worth saving and having both sides.

It's a custom piece. It's a members from the 68-72 forum who goes by Mountain Man. It looks likes it's some black plastic, with the letters plasma cut and glued on top, it kinda reminds me of the obs dodge truck emblems. I say your best bet would be to either look around on there or try to contact him although I'm not positive he is still active. I don't think you'll have any luck buying one unless you get it custom made however. It is a really neat idea though.

The 68-72 forum is a good place to look for any of the older gm trucks, got some good stuff for our squares too.

Never mind. I just saw your pic on the computer and you can obviously see it's not a stock emblem.
