Fender Badge question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok so my truck is a 69 K10 and the driver side front fender has a C10 badge on it and I was wondering what was really spose to be on there so I can maybe change it out.
It does not have one on the passenger side sure they changed the fender out at some point off a 2wd truck.

that is correct - there are no K10 badges. Blazer had a K5, but that's as close as it got. Yours are correct, unless your truck had a higher trim option selection by the original owner, such as CST (Custom Sport Truck), in which case it would be "CST 10". Also, if it has a 350 eng, that callout would normally go under the CST 10. More than likely your truck is the base model. If you show a pic of your SPID, we can confirm exactly what your fender badge(s) should be. And nice truck!

Ok so even though its a K10 the C10 badge is correct? Mine was a 6cyl truck and is not a custom model its pretty plain I would say.

Thanks for the info.

Yep, in your case then, C10 badge would be correct. No such thing as a K10 badge. Love the color - looks kinda like my 01 Z71 factory sapphire blue, or whatever it's called!

Thanks, yeah I really like the color.

Kinda explains why I could not find a K10 badge for it..lol Maybe I will buy a badge for the other fender then as it does not have one and I think it should have one on both sides if its going to have them..

Or... Buy a K5 Badge and somehow replace your C with a K - that would blow a few minds.

If you are going to do custom then do "Kustom Kamper/10"

On a serious side these are the emblems you should probably be running. Great looking truck!

69GWC · 10-29-2012, 08:05 AM

Yeah those are what is on the 70 I have, well not the 4wd badge. Might get a set of the 350 badges as well when I pick up a new C10 badge. Thanks

Custom/10 or CST/10 would look good on your "custom" looking truck,if you don't want the C/10s
