We made these steel ones. Recall that I bought this power wagon to fix up and restore. I plan to drive the truck a lot when I am done. I'm not a purist that wants the truck to be 100% accurate in minute detail. I'm a "ten footer" that is happy if the truck looks good from 10 feet away, and I am willing to make parts, or adapt readily available parts to make the truck look good an still be affordable. I didn't want to spend a fortune on the emblems, but considered them VERY IMPORTANT in the look of the finished truck when I'm done. I hoped there may be others like me.
Our business uses a laser to cut metal parts routinely. We drew these up on a computer and cut a few sets. Making them out of stainless instead of steel is as easy as changing the type of metal that you place on the cutting table of the laser, however it's not economical to burn just a few small pieces at a time. We would gladly do just that if there was enough interest to make 50-100 sets out of a full sheet. It would reduce the price as well.
