New grille emblem.
 
I have a new grille and emblem I'm wanting to put on my truck but how should I go about attaching the emblem?

I can't find small enough screws. I don't want to glue it on in case I need to remove it for some reason.

Any ideas? I'm all ears.

Either find some little screws or glue it on.

Why do you say that?

I can't find screws but I think I'll suck it up and just glue it on. :(

What do you mean, though, that you can't find screws? Like laying around the house? If they're meant to mount with a certian size screw, then that screw is available. Just go to the hardware store & spend a buck on three or whatever screws.

I believe the core supports and mounting spots are slightly different between the '89-'91 and '92-'95

Screws are going to screw it up (no pun intended) more than glue. You can scrape off glue...screws leave holes.

Oh and, I guarantee your local ace hardware has screws and nuts for the emblem..

Oh shister! I never thought of that. I mean I have a '92 cab and ebay said that grille was for a '92. Now I'm scared. :(

But back to the emblem problem. No joke when I haven't found a screw to work yet. I mean look at the hole compared to my middle finger, that thing is TINY. Almost all screws I've found are to long and the ones I have found that would be short enough, the treading is to wide and would break out the emblem holes. Ive checked a local lumber yard, Autozone, and Aces was already closed so I'll try them in the morning. Hope for the best otherwise out comes the epoxy.

Eh. just drill some new holes in the core support.

That grill will fit. Its just a 2wd grill :) USe some glue/rtv for the emblem. The screws holding your current emblem might fit....
