Wanted to share my little score - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was cleaning up my K5 Blazer emblems and the paint has some chips and they are not perfect but the rest of my truck will be so I was going to buy some aftermarkets. I was looking through an old parts book for my local parts place Dan's Classics in Portland and found a part # for GM emblems so I called and gave him the part # and to my surprise they had 2 in stock. So of course I rushed down there and sure enough brand new in the GM box Blazer emblems, bought the pair for $90. Then the funny thing he called his supplier to get more and found out they don't make them anymore. he said man are you lucky if I new those were NOS they would have been quite a bit more, of course I already new that but played along so he didn't feel bad.
SCORE!

Great score. It would probably be worth calling a few of the other dealers in your area. Honestly, since there are a couple of vendors down that way, I'm surprised they were still there.
