Re: who cares if emblems are correct?

Put a Heinz 57 label over the holes.Would that make it correct?Nothing wrong with a CustomDeluxe.I have one.The emblems are correct,but the headliner isn`t.Same thing,right?

It`s 400 engine badges are correct and original.But,I have an incorrect motor.Actually,the correct motor would be incorrect because the truck`s now a 4wd and they never had 402s.My motor`s incorrect because it`s a 400 and they weren`t available in any 67-72 truck.WHOA!!!Hold on...I have a 400 SBC in a 4wd`72 with a 400 emblem.That`s more correct than a 402 in a 2wd`72 with a 400 emblem,right?Well,kinda?Sounds right doesn`t it?

I`m putting 1 ton axles under it and I have Custom/30 emblems for it.They never made 1 ton 4wds in`72.Would it be correct to have 3/4t emblems on a 1t that was never made or 1t emblems on a 1t?What would be incorrect,the emblems,truck,wold the correct emblems make the truck correct,do two incorrects make a correct??????I don`t think it matters.

There was a tie Oct. TOTM,a 67 and a 68.They were voted to win by us.The`67 has`68 grille surround and the`68 doesn`t,but has the side markers filled.The`68 looks more like a`67 than the`67.They pulled it off,eh?
