Anyone have one of these they’d sell or know where a guy could find one? The badge specifically, but 454. Red like pictured below. I know practically everyone sells the yellow Chevy ones, but this looks like an original piece or very well customized by someone. Would love to get one of these for my truck, not too interested in painting but if I have to I suppose i could. Thanks.

I've never seen a repo GMC red cubic inch grille emblem.
Buy a Chevy yellow one and paint it GMC red.

That badge was added to that grille, 1976 was the last year for cid badges, that’s a 77+ grille.

Anyways, yeah, get a Chebbie one and revolver it to red.

You can paint emblems like that easy with a needle and syringe. I made this one with couple of white Camaro 307 fender emblems and painted em with caterpillar yellow

I have bought quite a bit of stuff from the Holley/Brothers clearance the last year. I actually got new 350 & 400 grille emblems as they were around $10. I didn't see any 454 or I'd bought a couple of those as well. @Rustisbest did a good job on his custom emblem and I'm certain that you could do the same with a new emblem.
