No sorry, they are a trident style but don’t know what the Micky Thompson model name would’ve been, perhaps part of the classic range. I think these are quite old though.

No worries, I’m sure I can figure it out with some internet digging. One more question, can you tell me how you were able to put a GMC grill on with the Chevy bow tie in the middle? I really like how that looks

Ha yes, it wasn’t easy, the truck is a Silverado (94) but had the GMC grill on it when I got it, I got a new aftermarket grill because the one on the truck was cracked and I really like the shape of the GMC grill but wanted the bow tie because it is a Chevy. So I carefully cut out the large GMC plastic emblem mount from the new grill and then cut out a section of the old grill to go in its place and epoxied it in, i then got hold of an old metal bow tie badge I think from a 1970s Elcamino as it had the perfect splay to follow the line of the grill and bumper, I then made a mount for the emblem, had to make a mould from scratch to follow the shape of the bow tie and poured it in casting resin and then epoxied that onto the grill, I should explain I do moulding work for a living! The bow tie emblem on its own didn’t quite look right but with the mount it looks like it could be factory. A lot of work with filling sanding and painting but I’m really pleased with the result. Glad you like how it looks, I’ll post a closer pic of the grill.

Well over 10 years ago. Honestly I think it has been 15 years since they were produced.
