$60 per piece.

That is about how much you will have to pay to replace each of these pieces. There is a KIT here you can buy from AnythingScout.

I am leaning toward all new emblems and have already purchased a few. I will post some of the restored emblems to see what you think. I am

I choose some Black and Red paint. I am trying Testors Model Paint and got them both on amazon.

I used a wire wheel on a drill to remove all the old paint remnants. Once I had them all down to bare metal, I started painting.

They look pretty good, but since I am repainting the whole truck, I think I am going to replace them all. There are some pretty deep dings in the raised metal of the emblem. They are so deep in mine the paint tended to run. I will sell them in my store if you are interested.
