Silverado Emblems& Badge Fitment

Quick Answer:Silverado badges and silverado emblemsvary by generation — front grille bowties are typically 9.5" to 11.5" wide depending on year and trim. Use this database to match your chevy silverado badges before ordering a custom replacement.

Finding the correct dimensions for a Silverado badge can be frustrating. Chevrolet has changed the size, mounting style, and depth of chevrolet silverado emblems almost every generation. Use our master fitment hub below to identify the standard dimensions for your truck.

Measure Twice, Order Once

While we provide these measurements as an industry reference, we cannot guarantee they are exact for your specific vin/trim. Dealerships often swapped grilles, and aftermarket grilles change constraints. Before ordering custom silverado emblems, you MUST measure your physical badge width and height.

1. Measure the Width

Measure from the furthest left point to the furthest right point of the existing bowtie (not the grille recess).

2. Measure the Height

Measure from the absolute top center point to the absolute bottom center point.

3. Check the Mount

Look behind the grille. Is it held by plastic clips, 10mm nuts, or is it strictly adhesive backing?
