Rocky Mountain font

Does anyone know what font RM used back in the late 80's? Or was it custom designed? I have a new to me '88 Avalanche and am cutting new decals for top and down tubes.
Thanks in advance
 
Re:

I'm looking at recreating the decals for my 92 Hammer, not sure if these are the same as the 88 Avalanche.

The font I've used is Kannada Sangam MN Bold with a bit of tweeking. It's not exact but looks pretty close.

Re:

It is the older style lettering unfortunately. I will have to keep looking. Thanks again

Close enough for the girls I go with...
Frame is getting media blasted this week so I can get them cut soon and try them out
 
Trace or photograph them.
import the tracing/photo into a layer in inkscape or illustrator. Has to be a program that draws vectors.
Draw the lettering on a layer over the tracing/photo.

use straight lines and splines.
Use as few nodes as possible on splines, it gives the smoothest curves
Join all ends so the paths are complete.

I drew all the letterings for some bike frames a few years ago, it didn't take long and
once you have one done you can often resize it for another.
