If you need badges or logos to make decals for your model trucks and SUVs, check out www.lmctruck.com . They have online catalogs for all Chevy, GMC, and Ford trucks/truck based SUVS, as well as 1994-2008 Dodge Rams, and 1997-2006 Dakotas/Durangos. Once you find the catalog for the vehicle, just "flip" through the pages until you find the page with the emblems, and simply copy the page into a photo editing program. Here's an example of the page I was using to get 2500 emblems for the '99 Silverado kit:

Great tip. I had come up with a similar idea as well. I went to Brothers and Classic Parts fo America (formerly Chevy Duty) myself, as I felt their catalog layout was easier to use to get individual images. In addition to the fender badges, they also have lots of good images of dash gauges for the older trucks, as well as glovebox trim, like the woodgrain used on the early Cheyenne trucks '69-'72. It's also handy if you want to make a 3/4 or 1 ton truck, as the proper badging can be found there as well. Don't forget to check out the underhood decals, too!

Hi...

Any recommendation for a similar source for the 1969-70 Shelby Mustang badges/scripts?

Thanks...

Hey Bill, Year One specializes in parts for muscle cars, and they have great pictures of the emblems/scripts.

Hope that helps!

Oh yeah, I just purchased the book of yours "Building & Detailing Scale Model Pickup Trucks", I can't wait to look at it (it looks like a great book from the previews on Amazon)!
