Talking Badges

I know a lot of guy's on here like the stock badges and I do to but I also like to have something different some times. I was at the local yard today and picked up both sets in great condition. Plan is to install a set on the Ramp truck and a set on the 64 SS Impala maybe. I have a set on the 71 already.
The guy at the counter didn't know what to charge me for them so we agreed on $5.00 for all 4 of them. I may have to paint them with the blue lettering and under line!

After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Badges

We in the 5th Gen Camaro world refer to them as chiclets. I’d like to see how they come out painted blue.

Re: Badges

Because of their size. Think chicklet gum from the 25 cent gum ball type machines.

As a side note: If you’ve got a Camaro with the gm badges at the lower rear corners of the front fenders, that tells you it’s an early production 2010. By about August/September of 2009 they were gone for good. Early 2010’s are the only 5th Gen Camaros to have them.

If they where going on the 71 yes. But the Impala I think Blue would be a better choice.
I don't know about the Ramp they may stay plain.

The red set had some of the GM silver coming off that will even add to the Ramp truck look without trying to.
The 71 already has a set on it. I didn't think about painting them though. I installed them several years ago.

Now I have to figure out where they will be placed on the 64 & Ramp truck. That's going to be the hard part.
I'm going to post in General some pictures of the placement on the 64 to see what you think.

I thought chiclets are what you spit out in a hockey game after you catch a puck in the teeth.

Yes I believe that’s another accurate display of chiclets.

Andy, those came out pretty cool.

I had to go back over to the yard today and pick up some more mirrors. I got 4 more chicklets while I was there.
I got 7 more GM compass & temperature mirrors and another Nissan C&T with Home Link also. I love these mirrors. They look good in our trucks.

I run intercom wire up the side of the windshield over to the mirror under the windshield gasket. It's barely noticeable once all in place. There are only 4 wires needed.
12volts hot, ground and the 2 temperature probe wires. The one in the pictures is my 71 C-10.
