Re: Fender Emblems c 10 Custom Deluxe

As an alternative, one option would be to leave them off.

I never did like the fender emblems (even when new) and finally got rid of them when I redid my truck last year:





In fact, in the "before" picture you can see where I painted over the yellow portion with black paint, trying to minimize the visual impact a bit.

yea I can see comparing it with or without them it looks pretty good. I just painted the truck and I am debating whether or not to do badges and or just the rub rail moulding like you have. How did you get it so strait is that the LMC kit.?

I have these on the Heap, they fit the factory holes perfectly (73-80).

Ebay #320474808006

I also have a set of NOS "Custom Deluxe/10" emblems I found on eBay.

Yes - those are LMC moldings.

If you check out my build thread (the Intro link in my sig) pages 6 and 7 I walk through the process. Basically I used a piece of angle aluminum as a straightedge and had marked the location previously on the old wheel opening moldings.
