68 fender emblem on later fenders?

[BrianG]

I've been thinking about changing my fender emblems before I get too far along with putting my truck back together. The truck is all black with no side trim. Currently I have new reproduction C-10 emblems on their. And while the quality of those is pretty good, I'm not happy with them for two reasons. One, they appear to be very crooked. I'm not sure if the boddy shop had to drill the holes for the emblem, or if they were already there. Anyhow, the emblems are too high in the front. I spend some time today notching the pins a little so that I could adjust them and it helped some. The other reason that I may want to change them isn't so much a reason of being unhappy with them I guess, but I just wanted to give the side a little more 'show'.

So, I've been thinking about putting the 67-68 style emblem on their instead. The truck is a 69 and it has the nice blue bowtie on the grille. I really really wish I could find a blue version of the 68 emblem, but from what I understand, no one makes one.

I'm not sure if the 68 emblem would work on the 69 fender, but that won't matter all that much because as long the holes would cover, I might just put them on with 3m tape so that I can make sure I get them straight.

What do you all think? would this look strange? I know it would give it kind of a custom look, but would I get too much of the 'hey does that guy realize he's got 68 badges on a 69?

Thanks for your input
