Early Style - Bolt From Behind Rally Caps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It was always my understanding that the bolt from behind rally caps were the first design and GM used them on the early squares up until the design change in late 75-76? No expert on square bodies at all but believe this style came first and then the bolt from the front type.

I've got two nice sets, one with the Bowtie, all chrome, and one with the GMC logo, chrome with a black painted flange (the GMC set is NOS). The GMC version came with the Gentleman Jim, 1975, at the very least. The all-chrome Bowtie version came on some vans and Impalas, from what I remember researching. They have different part nos.

I bought the Bowtie version before I found the GMC version for my dad's Gentleman Jim. I think my dad prefers the all-chrome look so I might replace the Bowtie emblems and store the GMC caps.

Check the ebay. There's always a random cap and sometimes a full set of the all-chrome Bowtie caps. The GMC ones seem a lot more rare.
