I can tell you unless you find NOS parts on eBay or some remote dealership you are not going to find to many GMC parts. It took me roughly 10 years to get my truck to the point it is, you just have to make due with what is provided.

Attached is how I fixed some of the emblems that are not available anymore.

Re: GMC parts

Good Job did you have them rechromed too? Or just cleaned and painted?

Re: GMC parts

I have this same problem, but 10 times worse. Ever see a GMC "Wrangler" emblem, good luck. I heard of an ebay hood emblem selling at 250 or somthing. Does anybody know somewhere they can be restored? or am i on my own. Oh, and here are some pics....

Re: GMC parts

I just found this site. Its a little pricey but they have some of the parts you cant find. The only thing I dont like is that they dont have pics of the stuff. Havnt bought anything from them yet.
