Fender Emblem Opinions Wanted

[markeb01]

I’ve been playing around with yet another shiny trinket idea, and looking for opinions on adding 327/crossed flag fender emblems to my truck. I had to use an older photo as nothing current was posed correctly.

Do they look great, stupid, one thing too many, or? My wife already doesn’t like the idea! Obviously I have too much time on my hands! All opinions welcome. Thanks for any and all feedback.

I played around with adding the emblems both with and without the Moon decals:

With the Moon decals:







Without the decals:

I'm not a fan of the emblems or of any emblems for that matter. I like the smooth uncluttered look. Mark, your truck is perfect the way it is. I think you may need another project to tinker with so you'll leave your truck alone.

I like the idea and I have been planning to do the same thing sometime down the road. To me it looks a little better without the moon eyes.

[T2vigil]

I love the emblem but I agree Slow Build the moon eyes need to go.

I think the emblems look good, but Id remove the decals. Or get some 63 fender emblems....haha..

[dean jendro]

Not a fan of decals or stickers but I've always liked the 327 flags. I think you need another project, maybe this time a Chevy. You know deep down you're a closet Chevy man!

Change the flags to the mid year corvette style and move them to the area where the C-10 emblem used to be. Motor heads will know what they mean!!

[ABX131]

No decals, leave the 327 emblems where they are...very clean and simple.

Thanks to everyone for the input. I still haven't convinced the wife about the 327/flag emblems yet, but studying the photos convinced me it was time for the Moon decals to go. After a 10 minute session with some masking tape tonight, they're gone.

[MOTOIMPAIRED]

Not a fan of decals or stickers but I like the 327 flags too.

Finally gained "management" approval, so hopefully the new emblems will arrive and be installed within the next week or so.

I like'm!

The 327 emblems that is..

Mark I`m a fan of it...

[markeb01]

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm really hoping the emblems will provide just the right amount of detail at the front, to balance up and tie in the windshield trim/spotlights in the middle, along with the bed rails at the rear. As I've told my wife, after this I'm never going to change another thing! Honest!!

[jocko]

can't wait to see it done - really like the emblems, and the placement. C10 location would have been a close 2nd, but prefer where you showed them.

I'd be interested to see what the cross flags look like without the 327 on top. Or even the big block cross flags, they don't have the triangle thing in the middle of the flags.

[markeb01]

Here are images of those items:

65-67 Chevelle (and a bunch of others)

Mark I like the emblem, so long as a 327 is what's in it; otherwise just the flags if none exist with proper engine size. Agree with others that moons need to be saved on a shelf somewhere; your truck is too nice for them.

I had those same ones on my truck, i took them off when i painted....just have not put them back on yet,,,,,,,,I like them

[jamesrussell26]

i found some older ford v8 emblems (i know,i know) that are in awesome shape that in thinking about putting on my 64, they are pretty small so they wont really stick out to much lol just enough

[ConnDemned]

I forgot the big block ones had the engine size attached, but I was thinking the cross flags alone might look better.

There are also these beautiful Corvette emblems with just the flags, but I can’t confirm if they’re flat, nor what size they are:

The front end is stock GMC with factory bumper guards and a 1955 Buick floating grille bar added:



If you are looking for something different let me know.

Yes, that buick bar is bad ass. I think Ive seen that with a bowtie in the center. Thanks bro, I have 65 c10 and just got a GMC grill and wanna do that!

If you’re interested, post #260 on my build thread shows the truck with the Chevy horn emblem that inspired me, and the installation and mounting details on my truck are shown in the subsequent posts.
