Does anyone have a line drawing they can email me of the GMC logo that was on the front Grill of a CCKW.?
Appreciate it.

I have a very early grill, 40-41 with the GMC logo plate I will make you a line drawing of it and email it to you tomorrow.

Very early Grills used Flat Head Screws and are countersunk at those locations.

I have a rough sketch of the logo and am taking it to the art department at R.G.Cole H.S. and have them make a professional rendering of it for you in actual size. Give me a couple of days.

There is a life size photo of it on Page 6 of the Boniface-Jeudy book "The GMC 6X6 and DUKW a Universal Truck". I believe I have the means to get them stamped out if no Copyright is involved. Tis a better fad than U know what. I took the one from my 41 Grill and put it on a later asymetrical CCKW grill. (you know, the one with the extended guard) I put NOS fenders on my SWB, the LH fender had the hole for the B.O.D. Light, and I chose not to fill it.

Thanks Joel,
I have that book and will find the graphic.
I would also be interested in buying a repro of the front plate.

There were some from Europe 20 years ago, the metallurgy was strange, as there were complaints of being difficult to tack weld onto the grill.

I should have the black line drawing today sometime. One of my students taking art took on the simple task yesterday.

Would anyone still have either this drawing, or a good straight on photo of the GMC grill logo?
I was thinking about trying to make one for my truck using a 3D printer.
Not sure if this would really be practical, or what all is required, but it seems like it might be worth a try...
Best Regards...
