Fender Emblems or NOT - Pics Please!

I am building a 69 4x4 short fleet and it will have no side trim. Originally it had the C-10 emblems. I liked them but always thought it a little weird cause as we all know they are really K-10's. I've thought about maybe putting Custom-10 emblems on it. OR.... maybe no emblems at all. The truck will be silver or charcoal(ish). I'd LOVE to see LOTS of pics of various looks. Thank you!

Heres what I ended up with since the truck was a C10 and I put 3/4 ton 4x4 running gear under it.

here is my 67 K10 no emblems then emblems on hood and fender. I wish I would have thought of filling the holes before paint but both ways look good.

The previous owner of my 68 used 67 fenders so I have no front marker lights and he did not put any emblems on... I prob would use the emblems but I have no idea what emblems they put on 2500 with a 6 banger.. I have only see the emblems with 2500 V-eight.

Did you buy new aftermarket emblems, or find some NOS ones? If aftermarket how do they look compared to original as far as quality?

If in doubt fill the holes. You can always cut the pins off the emblems and put them on with douple sided moulding tape. If you change your mind again just cut them off with fishing line.

I have thought abou that. The fenders that I'll be using actually have all of the emblem holes filled. I just wasn't sure how it would look or hold with the 3m tape. seems like it would be a pain to try and cut out around all those curves in the letters.

I think it will be perfect with color insided bowtie.

I also figured out the fenders needed to come off to put on the emblems, but I used trim tape to hold them on with the pins threw the holes to locate it So I didnt have to remove the fender.

My hood lettering was gone and holes filled when I got my '67 so I had to find all 18 holes and drill them out. Well worth the time and a couple bucks.

The darker the color the better they look with a little chrome for contrast. I like the hood letters and would hesitate to start welding that many holes in a decent hood anyway.

I personally like the emblems on older vehicles and no emblems on newer vehicles. Here are a couple of pic of my 68 with emblems. Enjoy....

I don't think your alone with that. I've seen a lot of replies where they are going from shaved to back to emblems. This is starting to make me think that I should go with emblems..... Now.... To decide between Custom 10 or C-10... decisions, decisions.

I wonder if you can decipher the SPID to see what came stock on your truck?

I got these from CPP. They look the goods, are fairly solid and weighty and seem well finished. See what you think. ;)
