1989 v2500 fender emblem

[chris989]

Hello all,

Painting my burb and never had the fender emblems, it is a silverado, (on the dash) but looking at all the vendors, K20 is the only thing close and that is listed for an 88

Any ideas?

Yes -

Pretend it's an '86 and shop for those emblems.

Actually - '88 would work as long as it's R/V rather than GMT400.

Pickup is also the same as Suburban if you can broaden your search.

I just found the same thing on Ebay,,

Was it silverado 20 from the factory in the 88-91 era of burbs and (30)duallys?

I think yes,,, cruising some truck adds for sale

Didn't the fender emblem go away in '89? I found this in a 1989 brochure on EBay- just the lower door trim has the 1500 emblem (or in the OP's case 2500) is present. The trim (Silverado) is a rectangle emblem adhered between the rear window and rear passenger doors.

I don't know,,, I am prepping for paint and have 2 holes on the driver fender right where an emblem should go,

I went back and found a older pic of my truck and there are none. But sanding has exposed where they should go.

The white is not the original,, someone may have filled t hem years ago?

My guess is the fenders are not original to the truck.

Somebody probably retrofit earlier fenders and had to fill the holes.

Unless you really want them I'd refill and paint.
