Here's the next question we are going to answer

[Jimmy]

This is a poll question without a poll.

I wanna know when 92 Ty's switched grille letters from black to red.

If you KNOW that your grille letters are legit,and you are in the 1600-1800 ? range prolly,post up your truck # and letters color.

We will be doing highest black to lowest red.

Go!

1642 - Red
99% certain it is stock.

Re: Here's the next question we are going to answer

my guess is, lowest red and highest black are going to cross paths hundreds of trucks apart

Because the cool black emblems only came on Typhoons, not AWD turbo Jimmy's with ground effects.

because red is right, they realized their mistakes in 92.

Re: Here's the next question we are going to answer

the letter was published in oct 91, wifes ty has a march build date and its 1353, it had black letters so its gonna be hard to narrow down a date of the change. Black letters were offered through parts. The reaason for the change was Brand Identity

Re: Here's the next question we are going to answer

1672- red and belived to be stock (was wore the phuk out and all original according to owner)
1613-red, but was in front end coll and had paint work, so not 100% sure, but they didnt do the job well, so it was possibly reused original.

1890 - red

Re: Here's the next question we are going to answer

Dale's response to the question of "why" the letters were changed. See post 85 of the "epic" thread (historical forum):

1a. The GMC letters were changed colors around mid-year of production for no other reason than GM Design Staff said so. When the General called and told us to "jump", we typically responded "how high?" without further ado
