Camper Special 10,000# GVW Badges - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*JCampbell* · 01-25-2013, 12:27 AM

Anyone know if there's an aftermarket source for the 10,000# GVW Camper Special badges? I can find 8,000#'rs all day long, but the 10,000# badges are tough to come by.

I have one, but the other is missing.

Not sure whether it is better to give you distant hope or leave well enough alone.

I have a pair of them I briefly found in my stash back in September of last year. After taking a pic of them and some others, then posting it on here for a "whats it worth thread" I assumed there was no demand for such a thing in light of the zero replies. They were packed up after a while, and I have no clue if or where they may reside today except its wrapped up in a box..... somewhere.

If you really want to torture yourself, linky

That's too bad. I would have loved to take them off your hands.

...and let's just get this outta the way before the Mods shut 'er down: this isn't a "want to buy" thread. I was legitimately curious if there was an aftermarket source for these badges.

doesnt sound like something lmc would have. your best bet may be hunting the scrap yards or ebay

*JCampbell* · 01-25-2013, 02:43 AM

Yeah, I have to hit the Pick 'n Pull this weekend anyway.

I just pulled parts off one of those last June. A friend of mine tried to sell stuff off it and no one in the area here bit on it. So I pulled the hood, harness, ecm, and overhead console. Then he scrapped it out.

now you get to take both fenders off just to get two badges

They go on the cab b-pillar, not the fender... not sure if that makes it better or worse, guess that depends how nasty the cab is inside...

cory d · 01-25-2013, 04:18 AM

those ones are much easier to get off in one peice.

We are trying to buy a 77 c-30 dually for parts and it has both 10000 pieces. Will let you know if we get it....

My camper special GVW emblems are intact on my 1 ton. And yes they actually attach to the cab behind the door, easy to get to.

However I believe it's very doubtfull you'll find an aftermarket source for these. Very obscure piece that you don't see on many trucks at all. I can't even remember the last time I saw any in the bone yard.
Just not a high demand item in my eyes so the cost to manufacure (I would think) would be a losing proposition.
