Nice paint, but.....

Point in case, don't always trust a parts catalog. :-)

[Ol Blue K20]

Opps, he just put all the info on his truck in one convenient location

[67 cst swb]

Ok, help out us 2wd mostly 67-68 truck guys out... what is the error I am looking at?

[Fldawg]

if i remember correctly,the engine size goes at the front of the fender and the 4 wheel drive i'm not sure

[1972RedNeck]

I think the 4 wheel drive would replace the engine size on the front of the fender.

Although that's not where the factory put them it still looks good.

Kinda like putting lipstick and a dress on a pig and putting it in a parade. Everybody will say how good the pig looks but nobody is taking it home when the parade is over.

[1972SUPERSB]

Way to much emblems in one location.

[Lee H]

Very, very few folks would know it's not correct.

You are exactly right about that

With the possible exception of everybody on this board!

Lol....but hey if hes happy...ignorance can sometimes be bliss...

[alsriv2]

The PO of my '69 C10 put the 8-396 emblems on the new fenders he installed about 1" above the marker lights on the front fenders - and yes he had to drill holes for the studs. Now to fix it I have to weld the holes and ruin the nice paint (repaint) or leave it as it is...

[SS Tim]

CHEYENNE/20 emblem (trim & series emblem) was used 71-72 and mounted at the rear of the front fender.

8 350 emblem (displacement of an optional engine) was used in 71-72 positioned under the front side marker lamp. On 69-70 trucks it was mounted at the rear of the front fender, centered under the trim & series emblem

4 WHEEL DRIVE emblem (4x4) was used from 68-70. It was positioned under the front sidemarker lamp.

So in this case as a 72 K20 it should have the CHEYENNE/20 at the rear of the front fender (where it is).
The 8 350 should be under the side marker lamp.
The 4 WHEEL DRIVE should not be on the truck at all.

Thank goodness it's not a custom camper and longhorn also...

[hammer]

wife looked at the pic and knew something was wrong but didn't exactly know what

[RANDY COX]

I Like it, It's his truck guess he can do to it whatever he wants... May not be everyone's cup of tea, But Hey If everybody has the same truck we wouldn't have anything to look at..

I totally agree. He probably did it on purpose just to irritate "purists"

[jocko]

I agree, to each his own - and that many people wouldn't even notice this arrangement, HOWEVER, we aren't most people - we are collectively kinda the "experts" and I think it is very worthwhile and appropriate to discuss the anomalies herein - as long as it's done respectfully (which it is) then it is worthwhile pointing out the fact that these three emblems never ever appeared like this together and that they cover three separate year groups. If for no other reason than to make sure someone doesn't see it and think it's stock. Personally, I think this truck is gorgeous, some serious craftsmanship and talent here (have seen the seen the whole truck), but I'd also say that the seller probably cut about 75% of his potential purchasers out of the pattern because they won't pay the purist restorer's price with an inability to correct it without additional bodywork (hole filling).

The 4 wheel drive emblem needs to go under the marker

Totally agree.

[ho70]

I know it bugs you and will forever, but, it looks fine and fixing is a big headache. Leave it for awhile as it may grow on you and besides, your truck is now 'unique'

[67ChevyRedneck]

Maybe they snapped the pins and used 3M tape

[shores6]

Should've just slapped the SPID on there instead!
