1971-72 Bow Tie emblems marked upside down

If anyone ordered an OER Bow Tie emblem for a 1971-72 grille they are marked incorrectly. The thin edge of the emblem is the top. Unfortunately as you can see they marked “TOP” on the blue insert and the chrome surround wrong.

I discovered the same thing. It didn't take long for me to notice it looked really weird.

I don't know what's more funny, the manufacture error, or those that didn't catch it. LOL

I developed an assembly information kit for restoring my truck from nuts and bolts. It's written in Assy. order, short & simple, packed with all OEM hardware ID; castings; part ID; 100s of part numbers; wiring simple - Resource, and trivial too.

Much info. applies to all 67-72 GM, A/C vehicles, esp. trucks W/O saying. Full search ability, including to 700+ images of illus., parts, charts, Assy., points of interest, cab, bed, & front clip cart plans- Specials and cores were serviced out and R excluded e.g. front/rear glass, body/paint, engine core, rebuilt hinges, steering box, trans, etc.

The project was in-line with long former professions developing process, policy, specs, demo, written for novices, admin., policy, engineers, development, systems & test - Public & govt 2, gross. Sell soft copy cheaply, PM if interested.
