So who knows the difference between these two tailgate emblems? One has the line box coming out past the letters. Trying to figure out the correct one for a 77 Silverado.

Don't know about the '77, but my '78 Silverado is the same as in the bottom photo.

I think the one with outside box is from the early Silverados. Maybe they changed it around 76-76? Can anyone else chime in?

I have a rough tailgate that I'm making into a headboard. Cool stuff.

I think I figured it out by Google images. Extended square box is from 73-74 high trim which was Cheyenne Super and then when 75 came they went to Silverado and changed the emblem. Can anybody back me on this?

I'm still trippin that there is a large C H E V R O L E T stamped in the center under the small chrome CHEVROLET on the side when you take the chrome off, it sorta bugs me, LOL

Yeah Gerg I know what you mean. BUT... you know you have an original one when you have that. GM stamped them all that way!!
