Question Looking for part for restoration???

I've got a 1993 2500 5.9 cummins truck I'm restoring. I desperately need the little insignia that goes on the fender that says "Power Ram 250 -Cummins Turbo Diesel". Where can I get one of those little boogers? I checked with the local Dodge Dealer and the parts department said that it was a discontinued part. I also checked with local salvage yards and they didnt have any. Where can I find one???? I've got one for the other fender and to finish the project I need the other to properly finish it. Thanks to whoever has the answer!

Try eBay, I've found badges for the 66 Newport I am restoring there.

I found a place to get them. It's sort of weird, but go to a Maaco body/paint shop. They immediately found some for my 1993 (and 2 fender flares) when I went in to get a paint job quote. The only weird thing is that the passenger side is over double the price of the driver's side.

I have them. I'm parting one of my donor trucks now. Don't know how I would remove them without nicking them.

What else do you need?

When taking off emblems and molding I use fishing line to "cut" the double sided tape. Might use a few pieces but it takes emblems off without breaking them

Use fishing line and wd 40 to help dissolve the glue. Dont saw with the fishing line cause it scratches. a little heat gun action will help also.
