CHEVROLET script emblem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Greg63 · 10-09-2010, 05:56 PM

Anyone know what car/truck came with a CHEVROLET script emblem that measures no higher than 1 1/2" high?
I have an idea for my '63 that I want to try and it involves a CHEVROLET script 1 1/2" or less in height.

I've used a couple of pairs of the rear trunk script emblem from a '65 Impala on a friend and customer's trucks...I installed them in between the two side moldings on the bed side at the rear edge. The '65 Impala rear trunk script emblem is 1.5 inches tall at the top of the "h", "l", and "t", and 11 inches long. I hope that helps.

Jonz is right, look for a 57 chevrolet 6 cylinder hood script. I might even have one, I shaved it long time ago.....

That is what I would like to do with them also.
Do you have a picture of them?
There are several different styles of script the GM has used over the years. Getting the size is critical, then choosing the style comes next.

Here's a link to Classic's parts site. I didn't realize how expensive the new ones are now. But, here is the emblem. This script is more consistent with the font style of the '60s. I have an extra OE one in my shop with all of the posts and speed nuts just in case you only find one.

Thanks. That is a lot more than I was hoping to spend on them.

vin63 · 10-09-2010, 11:43 PM

you can find used ones from time to time on eBay. They are often mis-catagorized, so you'll have to do more of a manual search.

protrash64 · 10-09-2010, 10:30 PM

Check out this thread......noticed the script right before I read your thread Greg63.......exactly what vin63 was describing.

Hang out here enough and its bound to happen!

My fan shroud is a combo of a couple things I've seen here thrown in the normal stew. (See Build thread)

Well I now know the emblem I am searching for came off of a '65 Impala rear deck lid. I have one secured and need another one.
I am trying to avoid the repop route. Does anyone know who I can contact to get a good used one?
Greg.

I have a couple from the grill of a 64 Impala .... Would that work for you ?

It would be nice if they did, but no.
It needs to look like this one;

That is nice, but it looks like a 50's style. Is it?

1963c-10 · 11-29-2011, 05:43 PM

I have the correct glovebox emblem if you look on my photobucket acct here on the link. I think I know where there is an extra glovebox emblem if your looking for one. Did you want the correct glovebox emblem or just looking for something close to put on?

1963c-10 · 11-29-2011, 05:44 PM

Those emblems are close, but the script is way off.

1963c-10 · 11-29-2011, 05:48 PM

This is the 60-63 glove box emblem. Sorry, cant get the pic on here, but its on the link above

**MisterC** · 11-29-2011, 08:37 PM

Here's the same thing carried inside to the glove box. I've been looking for that script. Thanks to everyone, as always, for the valuable information.

Additionally, if anyone has any idea who crafted the lower dash section that houses the a/c vent, I'd love to know that. It looks so good that it looks factory.

Yeah. I took this picture originally at the Super Chevy show in atlanta a few years ago. I talked to the owner and the body man fabricated it for him as a freebee for him. It looked awesome.

Thanks Alan. That gives me a start on where to look. I'd surely pay for a piece like that.

You might check yearone.com. They have repo for several different years and have the 55-57 chev car that looks like what you're after.
