is it that noticeable? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Whats the 1st thing you notice on other peoples vehicles? i would think it wold be the paint then the rims. well i swear the 1st place every body looks on my truck is the front emblem w/ the engine designation on it. my goal was to try to make it a sleeper and i figured what the heck they are small emblems no one will notice it says 454. but that is the 1st thing everybody looks at. do they make emblems that say 6-292?

**68SWB4x4** · 06-12-2002, 12:47 PM

yeah stuff like that is pretty noticble....... on mustangs people always check if its a GT, on camaros they look for a Z28 or SS emblem....... they want to know what your up against before trying to race!

BadAzz70PU · 06-12-2002, 01:10 PM

I know for a fact that they make I6 badges because my dads nova had them for a long time, I cant remember if they said 292 on them or not. Theres a lot of people that wouldnt be able to figure out the I6 badge though, most ricers never heard of a straight 6...lol

Nova I-6 badges look similar to this, there is some variation between years but they are similar.

RodC · 06-12-2002, 01:38 PM

Yep, I have seen a badge for the 292. It was on a C30. Im not sure about the 250s though, since it was standard.

yup thats the one my dads car has, i couldnt remember exactly how it looked but that pic brought it back.

**Desert Rat** · 06-12-2002, 05:29 PM

Im puting 292 emblems on the 468 truck.

Wasted Income · 06-12-2002, 07:33 PM

I didn't know that they made such an emblem either. Does anyone have a couple that they'd like to unload?

Thanks,
Jeff

If you have a large dealer that has been aropund for 30 years, ask the parts guy to look up this numper;
PT # 3950926
That is the 292 badge number.

mikep · 06-12-2002, 08:39 PM

I know where a c20 with 292 emblems is in a junkyard near my home. If you cant find any i'll see about grabbing them for you. I dont think theyre going anywhere any time soon.

XXL · 06-12-2002, 08:52 PM

You're still going to have a problem when your "292" is shaking the ground when it's sitting there idling

And... I have NEVER seen a 250 emblem. Maybe they do indeed exist, but they have evaded my eye so far.

lukecp · 06-12-2002, 10:28 PM

Any 69-72 P/U with a 292 will have the badges...but they didn't make too many 292's so good luck finding one. It dosen't say 6/292, it is in the general shape on the 8/350 badges, ect, but only says 292, in a little different font. I've only seen 2 of them...if i come across some i will let try and buy them...they would be cool souviners.

PushinPebbles · 06-12-2002, 10:29 PM

the onlt prob. is the sounds gives it away.................i like the idea though..................did 292's come in 72's???

HvyChevy454 · 06-13-2002, 12:35 PM

that all depends on how much you spend on an exhuast system to quiet it up. ive heard of a system on a lamoborgini that at near full throttle wasnt above a normal speaking level.

Low69CST · 06-14-2002, 01:08 PM

I'm gonna have people scratchin their heads with my truck. I'll have a 69 with "400" badges that has a 1972 400ci small block settin in the frame. I thought those would relate quite nicely.

**68SWB4x4** · 06-14-2002, 05:22 PM

there gonna think you have a big block

Low69CST · 06-14-2002, 05:53 PM

haha, Shag.....Whenever someone tells me that its not big block i'll start cussing really loud and talking bout how I got ripped off.

haha
