Vortec hood badge on 2015 2500HD 6.0

[2015VORTECZ71]

This isn't anything major, but a small mod I did to my truck a few months ago that I really like! I'll start off by saying, I like the 'Duramax' badge on the hood of the diesels, so I searched and found 7" 'Vortec' badges that are GM parts, and they came with double sided 3M tape on the badge for installation. I carefully figured out where I wanted them on there, and went for it (looks like it could've come from the factory like this, to me). Anyways, just an idea if you're looking for something small to do!

I always wondered why they got rid of those badges. Looks sweet.

Looked for something on the 'net & came up w/ this:

It's based on a 5.7 L badge.

So someone doesn't know what an LS1 is and made that. What's worse is the body of truck it is on and the fact that those came with the gen 4 engines

Sorry!

 

I guess I should've went w/ this:

 

"Generation IV 6000"

Not that but something more along the lines of the rpo or power rating or the simple 364. It just sticks out a lot with LS1 being so large on it. Also the gen 4 6.0 had more power than the LS1

What factory Vortec badges did you order? Have a link to share? I'm going to copy you if you don't mind. Looks good!

LS1 is actually the first gen 3 LS series engine and was a 5.7 L found in Corvettes and Camaros / Trans Ams. Stout package for its day.

 

I have looked for L96 badges with no luck.

Sorry for the delay...sorry this isn't a link, but just go to EBay and type in 'Vortec badge' and these'll come up. Some are from China etc, but I went with the OEM GM product.

And thank you! Pretty sure everyone just copies ideas they like from everyone else. I know I have as far as seeing wheels I like, etc :-)

I like the badge looks good, I did similar operation to my truck. I de badged all so the side of truck was all paint and no chrome and bought satin black 2500HD badge and put it where the 4x4 badge used to be. I wanted to be little different than the rest and thought it looked good there. I also have black GMC front/back logo and SIERRA on back.
