Sierra Badge?

Can somebody post a picture of this "Sierra Badge" with the correct factory color Paint Scheme?

I do not need the "Sierra Grande" or Sierra Classic" etc.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Sierra Badge?

I grew up riding in Suburbans and was always faintly irked by the jumbled letters that are misaligned in the Suburban badges and you can see it here in this Sierra badge too. I thought looked kind of silly back then. It even shows up on a 3/4 ton truck like this badge. Funny though, the coloring, black with a little red is all business.

Somehow now, the badges represent the times, and now I really like how strongly graphic they are. In further musing, the Sierra is written like a Junior High girl might have written it in the 70s (no offense meant to any former or current Junior High girls that are reading this. Really.) but probably why it bothered me. That same girl, born in the 80s, would probably have been named Sierra. Musing over. Have a good day y'all.

I totally agree.

The "Sierra" back then was a better times in my eyes, as I dreamed of getting my own Squarebody like a friend of mine had in High School. I have always liked the goofy printing of the Sierra name.

Re: Sierra Badge?

just a side note: The reddish orange GMC color only on the lower of the GMC letters not on the high edge of the letters, that chrome.
