Yeah, I'm partial to the old style too. I think they look the best on our old, boxy trucks. I used to have a contoured one on the front, but I didn't really like the way it looked, and it didn't seem to work well.

I had a member at Chevytalk.com offer to find one for me, and he did. It was cheap too. I'll see if I can dig up his information for you and put him in touch with you. I think he works for a warehouse, and they had a bunch of NOS shields laying around.

Here it is:

Contact Dennis at key_coach@msn.com.

Tell him what size and color you're looking for, and see if he can come up with something.

Thanks Casey.
BTW we love SW MO. Everything from Branson to trophy trout on the North Fork of the White. Your truck looks great!
