Definitely not lame! I grew up with same stuff. Royalty Core has Transformer emblems for their grilles, along with a bunch of other badges too. I think they even do custom badges by request. Might wanna try there.

 

my tonka truck was my favorite toy for a long time as a kid. I think its a great idea, not my thing personaly, but if you like an emblum on your grill its a good one.

 

Royalty Core can make anything you want... Give them a shout. You'll get your Tonka if you want it...

 

Heck yea! My bro & i had my dads rusty old Tonka trucks when we were kids.

Tetanus shots sold separately.. j/k

 

Dude, Tonka trucks were cool. Very cool idea!

 

Funny you say dad my older cousins says my truck reminds them of the Tonka trucks all the time...
I loved the Tonkas too, specially since the wheels/tires were removable and were unbreakable /// I had a bronco Tonka and a yellow dump truck...

 

Dude, its been so long i had to look up the emblem again. I think just the lettering would be sick in chrome. I wouldnt get the red and white(or yellow) coloring unless you have a red T.

 

OK I found out that nobody makes them and Royalty Core will be REALLY expensive.


However, I have the tools to make a really good set of transfer decals. Once I have time to play with the tools, run off a test set and install them I will share pics.

If they come out as good as I think they will I may make a few to sell.

I'll buy one set

 

Just get an emblem waterjetted and then just paint it how you want it. It will be cheaper than any of the other options. I got the one on my trucks grill for $20.It would depend on the size but I know there are people that do waterjetting.

 

Just take the belt pieces off and double-sided-sticky-tape it on. I have a baterang on the front of mine:

That's what I'm talking about! ^^^^

I read that he's turning his truck into a support truck for baja-type racing, so you could take some small bolts and super glue them to the back, and feed it through the grill to a nut/washer in the back. That way it'll be tough, and won't fall off.

 

That was just a 30 second quick look.

I am sure you could find something that is much bigger that you could use. Or if you can find a high enough detailed picture, talk to a local metal shop and they might be able to rig something up...... That just sparked an idea:

Get a 10" metal plate, and then weld the logo onto it! Would look BAD ***!

 

First off thanks for the help guys!

However I am looking to the newer Tonka Logo... not the much older Tonka Tuff logos; those are everywhere. Like I said before I have the ability to make transfer decals and the cost for materials to do 3 or 4 for the whole truck would be less than $30 (I am not going to use cheap materials like most of the ebay guys)... and the cost of any metal fab in Carmel Mountain San Diego is retarded.

Though I was asking for Grill Badges, I want them for the doors.

Lastly, my truck was my hauler when I was racing SuperSport and SBK professionally and natually flowed into my off road racing support truck as I got earlier.


I want rugged, good looking, and reasonably priced. I have some Ideas though and I am certain you guys will approve.

 

Is this what you're looking for? Looks like this company could whip something up for you.

Wow, that is a score, I wandered their site one day last week and must have missed that one. Now to finish up my design and send it in! I do not want an oval.

 

found this site looking for some custom badges hope it helps EmblemART.com | Custom Emblems | No Minimum Order

 

This past Christmas, my parents cleaned out the cottage and found my box of tonka toys.

There's a good website on how to restore and buy parts for them so if you want a badge, it's easy enough to get one to copy.

But I haven't decided to make my Titan the Scorcher yet!

 

My T turns into Devastator....
