Side badges - 350, do they belong on this truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I will ask this question here and in the build thread.

The truck came with the 350 badges on the side.

According to the paperwork it has a 327, not a 350...... who knows how to tell the difference from the outside, because I don't.

When I repaint the truck these badges have to go, unless they are original and need to be on a 66 truck.

So the question I guess is: Are these badges original, or can I remove themand weld up the holes when the time comes?

PS: I also need to grease up the truck before I take it on a long trip, just to have a baseline of work done.

Is there a clear diagram of where all the grease points are on the truck that anyone can post on here please ?

Thanks as always for your help and advice.

no! Those look like they came off a Camaro.

no, and, the 350 was never available in these trucks: 283/327 were the only V8s available, and the 327 only in 66, I believe (in light duty trucks).

The 350 wasn't invented when that truck was made. It debuted in the Camaro.
