Someone either filled the holes or put a 71-72 hood on it.

Re: Why do some C10's have hood emblems and some dont?
Someone went to the trouble to make it not have one (they also removed the front fender emblems). The truck may have also had side trim. Seems like there are a lot of people who prefer a Smoooooth appearance.

Do aftermarket hoods come pre-drilled? I don't remember seeing a choice between GMC & Chevy (which would have different holes).

Re: Why do some C10's have hood emblems and some dont?
My truck had all the emblems removed and trim removed when it was painted in the late 80's. that was the cool thing to do back then. Now the stock trim and emblems are back in style on these years of trucks.

The smooth look is in now if that's what someone wants. And,that's your answer why...it's what they like.

Re: Why do some C10's have hood emblems and some dont?
Also most people back in the 70's and 80's didn't want to pay GM their high prices for trim because repos were not really out yet. It was cheaper to just fill the holes.

Re: Why do some C10's have hood emblems and some dont?
I surprised that nobody has stated the obvious. 69 and 70 trucks all had the bowtie emblem on the hood. 71 and 72 trucks had the bowtie on the grille and nothing on the hood. As Henry50 said in post 2, your truck has a 71/72 hood or someone removed it and filled the holes.
