That fender emblem looks really familiar, but I can't place it. I think it's OE, just not from a GM truck.

Ah man, I missed the video. I planned to watch it later. Not seeing an "edited" note on the post, so I think the mods removed it. Bummer.

Thanks. Just watched it. WTH! That is just as annoying as the punk kids riding in packs doing wheelies in the opposing lane thinking they're cool doing so.
