No more faded tin grille emblem!!!
I was out at the local pull it yourself wrecking yard looking for some parts I need and came across a 79 Big 10 that had a real grille emblem made of metal and not a thin piece of faded tin foil like was on my 78 K20.
The grilles were identical so I snagged the emblem. Turns out my 78's grille was already drilled for the emblem holes so all I had to do was peel it off the rest of the way and bolt on the "new" emblem. Looks 1000x better. Forgot to take a close up of the peeling off stock emblem before I peeled it off the rest of the way, oh well.

Re: No more faded tin grille emblem!!!
Thanks, I didn't even know that emblem existed until I saw it at the yard. All the other trucks I have seen with a similar grille had the same faded tin emblem I had.
I wonder if anybody re-pops them?

Re: No more faded tin grille emblem!!!
Nice! I picked up one of those from a swap meet this summer. I was going to try to use in on my '73, but it's shaped a little different...
