Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
Are these tailgate band emblems? They are flat, roughly 2 1/2" high and 4" wide and the "M" is not contoured as would be the case for a hood emblem.

Re: Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
If the M is flat, they are. The M on the hood letters is contoured, because the M is centered on the hood. Never seen Red letters on 67-72 GMC's either

Your edit makes my answer seem redundant

Re: Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
I thought so. I recently listed them on Ebay as hood letters and I realized that I had made a mistake and I contacted the winning bidder about my goof. Guess I shoulda looked a bit closer but it is what it is. I offered the guy back his money no problem but I am just wondering what the correct application is. Hell, if he still wants to use them for band letters then he is getting a super set for certain!
I feel like a boob

Re: Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
The may also be tailgate band letters for a later model GMC as well.

Re: Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
They look like the letters that go on the back door of the Vans. My dad had a '77 GMC Rally STX and if I remeber correctly that's where they were.

Re: Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
They should have part numbers on the back side. What are they? If they have eight digits, they are later model than our trucks.

Re: Where Do These "G M C" Letters Go?
They`re not 69-72 tailgate letters.Those are flat with no groove (painted red) in the surface.

**Edit** I found a website that lists those as for a 1966 medium duty truck. If that is so then these are super nice for being that old! Granted, I had them on a shelf in the shop for the past twenty-or-so years
