FYI, suburban tailgate emblem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 12-29-2006, 10:28 PM

While out junkin' the other day i noticed a couple of old chevy vans with the tailgate "chevrolet" emblem. I figured wtih gm being like they are, probably the same as a suburban. (which most of you know are not easy to find in one piece.) Any how, i bought them, brought them home and they are different. The one in the top of the pics is a suburban, the lower is van. The burb has 4 mounting points and the van only 3. I would think if you put the van one on your burb, nobody would probably notice. Just thought i would share. Eric

I think Wes or one of the board members is reproducing them for the Suburbans now.

You want to find the older chevy vans (the smaller rounder styles) 1967 and earlier will have the same mountings as our burbs....

John Fabris is right!!!
The older style Chevy vans from the late 60s till 1970 not only have the same " CHEVROLET " emblem as the 67-72 Suburbans, but they also use the same tail light and side marker lens as the fleetside truck and the reverse light lens from the Burb/panel.

One other truck from the same time frame that used the same CHEVROLET tail gate emblem as the 67-72 Burb/Panel is the medium duty tilt cab, it had one on each side.
