You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

My horn button emblem was all cracked and crappy lookin so I was bored in the garage tonight and got a dumb idea. I cut out a piece of plastic the same shape as the old emblem, and then found a pic of a custom grille in an lmc catalog and stuck em together slipped it back into the horn button and now I have an awesome looking horn button again for free lol.

PS I've seen it done before on here but I think the person used a flowmaster sticker. So the thread isn't anything new but I laughed at how good it looks for just being a piece of plastic and a cutout of from an LMC mag lol.

Dude, that's mildly ghetto, but totally kicks ass and if I ever get my truck back and it runs again I'm stealing your idea! or whoever's idea it was.

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Lol totally half assed I know! but I can put the original back in at any time I just wanted to see what it would look like. Thanks for the compliment!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

I think it looks pretty good i would leave it in. :metal:

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

hot rodding at it's best. Very cool idea!! :metal:

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

good old american ingenuity.. what makes this country great

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

NICE!!!! you should have the peice laminated so it won't warp and get old. Thumbs up on the idea.

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Looks good!
Looks better than the ziptie I'm using for a gear indicator needle. glued it on and painted it when I was painting the other gauges.

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Better than what you had...:metal:

Diggin on that GMC Steering wheel fix!!!!

Hey... but you gotta do what you gotta do tho... even if it is mildly ghetto :metal:

I cleaned up my interior... and painted my steering wheel, and panels the same color....
also, experimented with shelf-paper for the woodgrain look.....
surprising what you can do on a budget!!!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Nicely done!

dude... that rocks!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Nice repair on the cheap - good job...

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

That's one of the things I love about our trucks... The respond so well to backwoods modification! I swear, with a square, the weirder it is, the better it turns out! Nice work!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Cool idea! Oh and the wood grain looks pretty good.

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Nice! What'd you use to paint the door panels? Mine are all beat up and faded and I'd love to clean them up, also match them to the dash and the rest of the trim (it was blue, originally, but I found some nice brown stuff that wasn't all cracked and ***ed up looking).

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Hope you dont mind I stole your idea keith! Ps your truck looks amazing!

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

lol - thanks!

Pretty nice DIY solution! If you want to beef it up some more, find a high quality PDF or JPG online of a GMC logo and get a professional print. A Walgreens can do it for cheap. I would anticipate that magazine clipping fading or falling apart over time.

Re: You guys might get a kick outta this!
 

Thanks for the comments fellas. I actually went to the junk yard yesterday and found another horn button in mint shape! But now I'll have a "custom" spare one lol. I also found a mint instrument bezel, cab moulding, drip rail, a radio, headliner, and lots of other interior stuff. My buddy sent me a message with some pics today of a truck he found in another scrap yard with a mint black interior!! So I'm gonna go and take it all lol. I'm planning on changing my whole truck to black, so if these parts work out i'll be laughing!!
