Anyone know where I can find b81 emblems?

Thanks

[Superdog]

I've been looking too,not had any luck.Maybe if enough of us needed them,Barry could have another run made.

I also have been looking, nothing no where

[Superdog]

I just sent Barry an email,we'll see what he says.

That makes at least 4 sets,anybody else have an unmarked B-81??

[Superdog]

Heard back from Barry,he's going to check in on getting some,said he'd know in a couple days or so.

I wish they could still make the emblems that go on the side of the cab like the U-600 and R-600 and stuff like that.

If any1 comes across them let me know. Thanks!

Hi Superdog, I need at least one set maybe two..........Paul

if you would take 2 sets,that will make 6 sets needed,I'd sure think that would be worth making up some more.I know the last time I ordered emblems from Barry,I needed a set of B83's.The were still listed on the website,but come to find out they were sold out.Had to wait on a new batch,but he got me some.Did notice after that the price went up to $125 per set.I'd think as many B81 's that seemed to have popped up lately,he'd have no problem selling them.

If he doesn't come thru,does anyone have one I could borrow?I've got a friend that had some similar emblems made up out of plastic and then painted them,they would be better than nothing.

Lets give it a little more time Superdog, I'm sure there are more out there in need.

I think I brought the last set of B87 emblems from Tidewater Mack.That was back in 2005 I think.Did you get your truck yet,would like to come up and see it.Thanks Mike

[Jdiesel25]

not yet hopefully tomorrow, ill let you know when it comes.. the b75 is at the shop too so you can check both of them out

[hicrop10]

Looking forwarded to it.

Need a set of B-815 emblems myself. If anybody has anything I'd be interested. I'm sure there are a few of us who need them. A guy on E-bay had remade some a few years back but cash eluded me at the time...I'm interested if anybody has anything to offer.

Have any luck,Barry???

I had a thought, if Barry can't get any b81 emblems made I was going to look into this digital printing thing and see if I can't get them made out of plastic, it would be better then nothing I guess the only thing is how do they put that Chrome looking coating on plastic. Let me know if you guys would be interested in trying this.

Plastic can be plated. The knobs on all our favorite 60's era cars used to be and some were plastic. I'd google and find a plater who is experienced and find out what the requirements of theplastic are before jumping in too deep. It sounds like another run is in order from Watt's. A good used set can be copied too...a small foundry can make up patterns and pour new ones.

Still need B-815 emblems if anybody has some that can be coppied....

I just rememberd there is a small foundry in the next town over from me ill look into it see if they can help us.

Well I emailed a foundry about making emblems and the salesman said they would take a look at what I want made then he came back with the hole copyright bs. Well at least I tryied right lol

[Superdog]

I emailed Barry again a couple days ago and haven't heard back.

Here's anoption,I have a B-60 emblem someone made out of aluminum,if someone with way more talent than me could make a mold,I don't think it would be that hard to do ,the aluminum could be polished and you could use the 3M emblem tape to put them on,the same could be done with plastic and then painted with chrome paint,wouldn't be perfect but would be better than none.

Anybody know anything about making molds???
