diesel badge

I noticed a while back some trucks have a badge that says diesel under the drivers side headlight. Mine doesn't and I kinda like it. I did a few internet searched and can't seem to find any for sale. does anyone know where to get one online or is it a salvage yard type of deal. obviously i don't "need" one but i just like the way it looks.
Thanks

You can get all the year's different logos at LMC truck (google it). Some are reasonable prices and some are rediculous, I guess depending on rarity.
I replaced my "F-250" and "Turbo Diesel" ones when I repainted.

Actually, I just checked, and it seems they discontinued the earliest diesel emblem in the new catalogue... there are a couple others though.

Page 66-67. I think the official term was "Emblem" if you're searching other places too

Just hit up your local scrap yard, or guy parting one out and pick it up, cost you like $5-10 if the guy is trying to screw you..

Where are you going to put it on your 85? Mine doens't have room for anything under the headlight...

I think what you're looking for is one from an 87-91 diesel...

With it getting to be winter things are slowing down here, but scrap cars are still bringing ungodly prices, so if anyone needs emblems and the such and can wait let me know.
I am Asst Manager at a scrap yard so I usually notice the fords that come in and check them to see what I can salvage before the crusher sees them.

we get more dodge and chevys in than fords lately......so it may take a bit to find it...
