Side emblems/badges

[Meangene]

hi guys I have a quick question: how do you remove side emblems from a 1962 stepside? What is the access area? Thanks for your time!

You mean the ones mounted on the cab/cowell corner?

Hi there..thx for gettn back. No the ones on the fender with the bowtie and 10.

I have been able to remove the bolt in the fender bottom (you know, the one threading into the rust pocket so it may be frozen up) and also loosen the ones under the cab/cowell corner which facilitates the use of a ratcheting wrench to remove the nuts that secure the emblem. It is a bit of a bear to jam your hand behind there, but beats removimg the whole fender if you can get it that way.

Yeah, just four bolts to get the fender cowl extension off and then you have access to the back of the emblem which has two pins holding it on.

Okay gotcha! So the two bolts when the hood is up then open the door and get those two bolts. Sweet.... thank you very much guys!!

Just to clarify, lay on the ground inboard of the front tire and look up at the backside of the fender at the bottom. There is a bolt near the rocker panel which bolts into what I termed the "rust pocket" because that's where all fenders rot out. That bolt has to come out. It may snap off in the threads if its been there a long time. If it snaps, you will need to drill it out and re-thread the hole so be careful. Removing that bolt causes the bottom of the fender to flap in the breeze creating a way for you to jam your hand in toward the back of the emblem. Depending on how much room you need you may have to further loosen the fender at the top. This is where removing the cab corner comes in.

Aren't your badges located above the fenders on the cowl extensions? The correct fenders on a 62 have no badges.
