I have an 82 GMC that's got a factory 6.2 diesel hood ornament and I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes custom pieces. I'm changing the engine and would like the badge on the ornament to say something other then 6.2 diesel

They're out there. Running from cheap to pricey. Seems like there were some nice custom machined ones posted not too long ago, but I cannot recall in which thread they were in.

Thanks guys. My 82 was my first truck and I'm currently in the process of restoring it and I wanna keep the emblem but I really want it to have a Cummins logo on it

What style is it? The 6.2 or the colored one with 'DIESEL' on it? Pics I see that one looks fairly flat and like a picture frame - the other looked kind of sculpted. Shouldn't be hard to make. I've been re-popping old Euro emblems, emission decals, GVW plates, etc for years.....exact knock offs on concourse cars.

Wouldn't be cheap (as you wouldn't need 100pcs) but for what it is, not too bad either. I'm planning to make custom center caps and fender emblems for mine. Gotta look OE / period correct - none of this 'look what I made in art class today' stuff. :)

Yes! It says 6.2 diesel. It's not the colored one that just says diesel
