Title: What front fender emblem should I use?
Post by: firefighter on October 19, 2011, 04:07:43 pm
Sorry I'm not so up to date with all of this but I am curious what front fender emblem I should have for my truck rebuild.
Here is what I have:
1976 (at least the chassis is) 3/4 ton 4x4.
I will not be having any of the fancy cab or side trim, but maybe just some wheelwell trim.
I really don't know all the differences of the Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, Silverado and Scottsdale packages.

Even if I have a few options I'd like to have some sort of fender emblem. I went the last 15 years after my last rebuild with 2 holes in each fender and this time I want something there.

Can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

My truck had a few options new and it was a Scottsdale but its your truck so put which ever one you want on there. Or you could just weld up the holes.

K is 4x4, and 20 is 3/4 ton. After that if you don't have power windows, AC, or cruise etc. its a Custom Deluxe if it has some options, but not others like AC, maybe a tach, but without power windows, its more like a Scottsdale. If its loaded then it would be like a Silverado.

The Scottsdale 20 emblems are discontinued. NOS or used will be your only option.

my custom deluxe is now a Silverado. Man does it ride better now!!  ::)

Seriously, depends on your intention for the truck. Serious show piece of daily driver? I found a set at a junk yard and refurbished them for about $10. try some searching on here and you'll see some threads that did the same. As long as you get some that still have the dogs on the back, you can easily use barrel nuts to attach them.

I sold a set of NOS ones to someone on here. I forget who bought them but come to think of it I had another GM set still in the box. I'll have to look in my stash if I get time this weekend.
