Gary Lewis Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'm looking for a very reasonably-priced name plate, meaning the blue oval, that goes on the 82-86 grille. As some of you know, I had the silly dream of placing a camera behind mine and messed it up. So I'd like to replace it, but am reluctant to spend much more money at this time of year, and a good used one or a cheap NOS one would be ideal. There are two versions of the oval that I'm aware of that fit our trucks: Original: These are marked E2TB-9843156-A and are part number E2TZ 9842528-A. 1987 & later: These are marked E7TB-9843156-AA and are part number E7TZ 9842528-A You can see the differences in the two in Rusty's post here. And while the E2 version is more "correct", Big Blue came to me with the E7 version, so I'd be happy replacing it with one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a link where you found it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machspeed Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Gary, I have the OEM piece I pulled off the grille I gave Larry. It's not perfect but it is yours if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, John. That sounds like an excellent offer! But, if there are $15 new ones available, it might be almost as cheap as having you ship yours. On the other hand, if we go to SE Okiehoma next month for an outing... Let me tentatively accept but lets see what transpires. Ok? And thanks!

But I'm going to see where we can squirrel these #'s away so we don't have to look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
