Is a Custom emblem on the cowl of a 67 c10 orginal? rare? I have never seen it before. It is cursive and just say "Custom"

I'd have to say no.

I am pretty sure it belongs on the door, just below glass and in the middle.

Sounds like the standard 67-68 custom door emblem. A pic would verify it.

The 67/68 Custom badge on a Chevy goes under the door windows about center and is script within a horizontal rectangle.
The`67 GMC Custom badge goes on the fender where all badges go.It is unique.It is a Custom script at the top of a veryicle rectangle.
The`68 GMC Custom badge is just the script and is located under the door windows rearward on the door.

Not sure what that is from. Not correct for 67-72s...
Texan idiot, alot of times the dealers would put their metal dealer plate in that spot.

I had a 71 custom with emblems like that but they were under the window on the door just above the door handle

There was a very similar one as you describe. This one isn't it. That one is mounted in a flat area and the door ones were rounded. Also it is a little different style of script.

Back in the day, dealers would put their chrome-plated logos on the cowl. I'm talking back in the Fifties, with the 48-54 style. It didn't matter what brand of truck it was, it was just what they did. Sometimes it was the cowl, other times it was the fender (on later models).

But, none of the '67-72's had any trim on the cowl panel, except for the antenna. My guess is that someone wanted to "gussie" up their truck and put the Custom label on the cowl....to be different. It ain't stock.
