Older badge on 86 K10? Or metal 80’s era badges?

So to start- I am not a fan of the plastic badging on the 80’s era trucks. The emblems should have stayed metal. I’ve poked at the 70’s badges and I don’t think that’s the game here. I found a set of these which I believe are later 60’s badges. Kinda fits the project.

Anyone know of a source (most likely custom) for 80’s era badges?

That badge is from 69 and 70 I believe.
I like your colors and the badge looks good on there.

Or maybe none at all?

Originally I was going to skip badging all the way around but it needs something to break up the blue. The white on the lower section helped a bit though.

Yes, I agree. Trucks need badges. The 67-72 badges are cool.

I’m not a fan of the large plastic gawdy boring badge (no color) from the 80s either. Im planning to weld and fill the holes in the fender which will also save a few $$. However, I would consider a badge if I could find something appealing. In my opinion, 75-80 custom deluxe badge with some color would possibly look okay?

I like the one from 67/68 that's the big square with the Bowtie on top, orange background and the 10/20/30 inside the square. Nice and simple, gets the message out without too much gaudiness.
And then again, the OBS door badges with the Bowtie and 1500/2500/3500 are cool and minimalist too.

I think that's similar to 64,65,66

There’s a lot of re-pop badges out there, also designs you can customize,
I don’t have any idea about the quality of them though.
I want something there on the fender just not sure what yet.
