How do you take the "custom"emblems off?I don't want to ruin them without asking for help.

Just gently pry them off with a thin tool, they're held on with barrel nuts about 1" in from the ends of the emblem.

DON`T PRY!!!

Take the interior panel off and you`ll find two speed nuts holding them on.Just remove the nuts,that`s all it takes.

Thanx I'll try your advice.

That's odd, on my '67 parts truck they're held on with barrel clips and no sign of speed nuts ever used.

mine were held on with speed nuts as well. ive never seem them held on any other way. do you have any pics of those clips?

See?

Looks like the truck has been repainted about 30 years ago, with a brush, and it doesn't look like the trim panel has ever been off.
Must be a Canadian thing, eh........

I pictured the script GMC emblems for some reason,but realized you may have meant the chevy ones.I`ve seen both fasteners on the Chevy and only speed nuts on GMC.
