81-87 gmc molding/emblems

Why is it impossible to find GMC sierra classic fender emblems?

Truck is almost done at the paint shop.....need to replace the body molding.
Which way do you guys go, pre cut or roll?
How hard is it to cut the beveled edge?

I checked ebay and brothers, but LMC seems to be the best price for these three items.

side molding, Fender trim, and bumper bolts. 180+ shipped

Re: 81-87 gmc molding/emblems

I cut my own... straight edge and a blade, angle the blade to get the bevel.

Re: 81-87 gmc molding/emblems

I bought the pre cut kit, but there was one piece I had to trim.

Used a hacksaw to cut it.
