WTB- 1985 GMC Sierra Classic dash emblem

I need a nice quality or restorable dash emblem for my 85 Sierra Classic.
Yes, I am aware that NOS emblems are bringing huge price. Unfortunately I'm that one Texan that doesnt have an oil well in my back yard, so I cant play that game.

I have found several at fair prices, but they are too pitted to restore. If you have one thats nice quality, or restorable condition lets talk.

Pic is for reference.

Re: WTB- 1985 GMC Sierra Classic dash emblem

I have quite a few of these. I have not really done anything with them since the reproductions came out. I am curious about what you do when you restore them. I have repainted the black letters when the rest of an emblem is good. The biggest problem I have is trying to fix the silver on the emblem and especially on the end that says GMC. Here is a picture of part of my accumulation. I also have some of the 1973-1980 GMC dash emblems. I would appreciate if you would share what is your restoration process.

No worries. Since the replacement trim comes with holes I have no choice about using an emblem. I prefer it to be correct if possible.

What reproductions? If you know of someone reproducing these please share.

I haven't done this particular style of emblem yet so I'm no expert either. The black can be brushed, or injected by using a syringe. The silver can be done with aluminum paint and a brush. I'm not sure what would work best for the brushed aluminum panel on the end yet. I would try painting, then reproducing the grain with a Scotch bright pad.

Re: WTB- 1985 GMC Sierra Classic dash emblem

I have not been following the Sierra Classic stuff very closely lately. I used to spend a lot of time at junkyards and pull and pay places. I saw they had been reproducing the fender emblems and dash emblems. I did a quick search to find where the reproduction dash emblems can be purchased. I found one place quickly that had them listed but show them as out of stock. I am not sure what that means. If they had them in stock, they would sell for $125. Here is the link I used.

Re: WTB- 1985 GMC Sierra Classic dash emblem

After a little more searching on ebay I found a completed listing for a reproduction dash emblem. It appears to have sold in early March, but the seller shows having sold 7 with zero available.
