1971 Billet Grill Bowtie???

Hello everyone. I have a 71 Chevy fleetside p/u with a billet grill. I have seen others with my style of billet grill, but the difference is that they have a bowtie, looks like billet, in the center of their grill. Does anyone know where I can get one of these billet bowties that will fit my billet grill? I have seen some, but say will only fit S-10, 98-00, etc, basically newer trucks. Thanks!

Joe

Thats the one 88/90 body style. Then make your own backing plate.

It came from stylin concepts,I think it was around 26.00,but you can get polished or brushed finish,the polished will be more maybe 30.00,in my opinion a billet grill by itself looks to plain,I think a bowtie helps a 69-72 billet grill look better,but thats just me.
