Very nice Frank! How did you make it? Or should I say, what did it come off of? You've even got the right logo for the right year. :thumbsup:

I'm buying the first round;) i need a good excuse to get away from work anyway... "serious IDI business" sounds like a good one for a day trip.

it's a stull, i think they called it a billet grille - solid aluminun 'fins' instead of chrome tubes. i like the look of 'em.

actually, it was not "procured" in the manner it would have been in my youth...
i walked into my IH dealer with a part # (thanks Grease Pit @ TDS) & paid a little under $50 w/ shipping.
i tried to epoxy some all-thread onto the alignment tabs on the back, but that didn't work, so i cut & shaped a 1/8" plate to match the badge, drilled & tapped for the all-thread (no welder), painted it & then i had a smooth SOLID surface that the 3m backing really sticks too.
i'm working on fender badges, too;Really that'll REALLY turn some heads:***:
