Location: The Mile High City | I don't have any spare gold letters, but the middle D and the first D are different shapes. |

| Thanks, didn't know that. |

Location: The Mile High City | Yes, that middle D has a bend so it can fit right in the front of the hood. You may want to let folks know which one you want. It will probably turn up! |

Mike is there 2 different types also being pressed aluminum and die cast ones, or am I thinking of something else |

Location: The Mile High City | True! FINS is looking for the gold D, so it is the gold-anodized, pressed aluminum one as opposed to the chrome die cast one.
But is it also important to know if he is looking for the first "D" in Dodge or the middle "D", as they have differences in their profiles.
The pins might be similar and they possibly could "fit" in opposite spots, but the "fit" would be poor and the delicate pins would be more likely to break. |

Location: Falcon, CO | If it is the first gold "D" that you are looking for, I may have one (it is new, although it is a reproduction). Contact me by PM if you need it and I will locate the letter and get back to you.

| Sorry for not being more specific. It is the middle "D" that I need. What cars were the chrome ones used on? Was it something like a mid year change, or model specific? I've always wondered. |
