These are a good choice if you are painting a truck and don't want to remove the fenders to reinstall the emblems to put nuts on

Sounds like a tough time stripping it down safely at any rate. That combined with all the rest makes me think kwe ping it together is the way to go.

With yours, though, the letters are super rare and if you have the time, you should put a decent price on it.

Any thoughts on what they are worth or would go for?
