Emblem Question

[tim71]

I'm curious on what determined what fender emblems went on a truck? I have a 71 GMC K1500. My emblems are "1500 V-EIGHT". My truck has all the options that would make a Chevy a Custom Deluxe. The GMC emblem choices are: Grand Sierra, Sierra, Super Custom, Custom and the 1500 V-EIGHT. Seems like the appropriate emblem for my truck would have been "Custom". I do have the "Custom" emblems in script on the doors. My resto/rebuild will have my truck approx 90% stock, I want the correct emblems, but I guess vanity is making me want to put "Custom" emblems on the fenders.

Don't know GMC well but would the spid on the glove box door not reflect the package? I know some one with GMC knowledge will chime in. Good luck with the truck sounds like a nice one.

My 71 had the same emblems in the same places as yours. Mine was a custom, and the custom emblem was on the doors. The fenders had the 1500 V8 emblems. My guess is that yours is correct.

Thanks for the info. My guess is that your guess is correct and the
1500 V-EIGHT are the correct fender emblems.
