thanks i did that in about a week my freshman year. won a couple state and regional awards with it. i didnt really see the big deal about it haha it was just an assignment

Ok, I hope this makes sense. These measurements are as close as I could get them using a measuring tape on a 3D piece. But I would bet they are good enough to fit in the indent. These are from a 91 Suburban grill.

Center width: 2 1/2"
Center height: 2 5/8"
Short side length: 2"
Long side length: 2 1/2"
Side height: 1 5/16"
Center beyond sides: 5/16"

Here is my picture of it. Hope it shows up well.

You are not the only one. I though of the movie "XXX" with Vin Diesel till he said confederate flag. But I guess if we were in the south we may have seen the flag first.

Me, too. If it had stars it would have popped in my head as confederate flag.

i tried making this today and once i started looking at it, i noticed some of these measurements didnt add up..

joe231 · 11-18-2009, 06:50 PM

I see that too.....the over all height is 2 5/8", but the dimensions for the arms (1 5/16") plus the two 5/16" dimensions add up to 1 15/16" overall.....

Scootin 81 C20 · 11-18-2009, 07:27 PM

My emblems arms are 1 3/4" tall and the tallest part of my emblem is 3 1/8" tall and mine came from a 81-87 Burban.

bitchin85 · 11-18-2009, 11:27 PM

can someone correct DrivewayDreams' measurements? i wanna try to make one to fit my buddys truck with a stock 84 grille. his stock one is missing or id measure it

This is the kind of thing I do every day. If you need a more complex file, I can produce an STL. and email it for you to mill.

Driveway Dreams · 11-19-2009, 02:29 AM

I don't know what happened last night, sorry. I re looked it tonight. The center beyond the sides is just about 11/16". That will bring the totals in line. Sorry again man. That should work better for you.

*BGRAFX* · 11-19-2009, 03:50 AM

This is a cool idea guys. I'm interested for my new billet grill!

bitchin85 · 11-19-2009, 07:40 AM

thanks, ill try again today

bitchin85 · 11-19-2009, 11:39 PM

can someone measure up their 73-80 emblem for me? thanks

b454rat · 11-19-2009, 11:56 PM

Not really a grille emblem, but fender or something. Cell phone sucks....

staggerd86c-10 · 11-21-2009, 09:06 AM

man if we could only find someone that makes the silverado fender emblems out of billit it would be bad ass. I hate the face that they sell the plastic ones for so much.

There is a member on here that does make them. I bought a set.
His username is mekdad.
Wish I could find the pic of mine...I sent him a stock badge, he made one to look just like it but with 6.0L
Good stuff..
Here's a link to some of what he does:
