School Me In Grill Emblems.

[BHTH]

I'm going to put this on the pickup site, because I think more Blazer guys come to the pickup site that than the other way around and I think this might apply to both. I have a 78 K5 Blazer Cheyenne and the grill emblem is thin stamped aluminum that is painted goldish. My uncle had a 78 K10 Scottsdale when I was a kid and I remember it having an emblem that was yellow transparent plastic. I seem to see product literature from Chevy in 1978 that shows both. I also see references to a K10 Blazer, something I don't think exists, but that's another topic. Who's got the skinny on grill emblems? How was it decided what got what?

Every Blazer grill I have seen on the 78, actually 75-79, have the plastic emblem like the attached pic.

Yeah that is the one I called yellow that my uncle's Scottsdale had. My Cheyenne Blazer has this, the center is goldish (it's hard to tell in this pic). My grill is charcoal also and I seem to remember my uncles' was a lighter gray. I'm wondering if these differences are Cheyenne related or was is time of year or the plant they came out of.

There was 2 different Grille emblems from 75-79. Silverado's had the nicer raised emblem like TCKR posted above and lower end trucks like Custom Deluxe got the plain flat emblem like the pic BHTH posted.

My uncle's was only a Scottdale, rubber floor and no headliner, mine a Cheyenne carpet and headliner, so that theory sounds backwards.

Not a theory. A fact.
