Need help locating the Chevrolet Font for tailgates, 3D printing an 8ft bed

[Oldmopars]

So I have decided to make a more accurate and longer bed for the AMT/Revell 60's Chevy/GMC trucks. I have recreated the inner bed more accurately and I have the length correct, but the font for the tailgate is not quite right. It needs to be more square. Fusion 360 doe not have the right font. If I can find it I can load it and use it. 

Anyone know what it is?

Here's an original if that helps.

I would think that a tailgate wouldn't be necessary. Couldn't a person just use the one from their short bed kit?

Well, I have both the Revell kit and the AMT kit. I also have a real 1:1 1965 Chevy C10. So, examples are not the issue. Thank you however. The reason I wanted to include the tail gate is that the Revell and the AMT tailgates are different sizes. One is wider that the other. So, I would need to make an AMT .STL and a Revell .STL depending on what kit you use. By including the tailgate in the file, it won't matter. Surprisingly the beds are slightly different lengths, but their side profile and overall shape is almost a perfect match. It is so close that you could swap beds from one kit to the other and I don't think anyone could tell.

Well, after a bit of research I discovered that there is no font that matches it. So, I downloaded a picture and loaded it into Fusion and copied it. It is as close as I can get.

Car logos are often not done it standard typefaces (fronts).  They are usually created by the in-house designers.

That's pretty close, Scott.  Nice job.
