1956 3100 fender Emblem location

[lts70]

I am doing some work on my friends 1956 3100. He bought all new emblems and driver side mirror. I got the hood emblem and mirror installed today as I was able to find the holes under the bondo and get them installed.

The fender emblems however do not line up. Can any one give me a dimension off of door line and fender contour line to place these? I robed a picture off Google of the type of emblem that is going on. it is the same as this one except it is black.

I still have the holes in my fender I will measure tomorrow from door edge to first hole. Then give distance between holes.

Thanks butchp.

I noticed that the pictures in LMC shows these emblems below the fender line. Which one is correct for 1956, above or below the fender line?

'55 is below and 56 is above.

Thanks flames97, that would have sucked to put them in the wrong location.

It looks like I can get the chevrolet portion of the emblem on as it is located in the wheel well were it is only one layer of sheet metal. The 3100 portion of the emblem lands where it is double layered. Do I need to pull the fenders to install these? please say no.

My 56 has the holes above the fender line 1 1/2"
From edge of door first hole is 5 1/16
From edge of door second hole is 11 13/16
From edge of door third hole is 19 11/16
From edge of door fourth hole is 27 1/2
You can check the hole dims. from your emblem

you do not have to remove the fenders

[butchp]

Can you give me the color code of your truck

[Flames97]

That I don't know. I have a 55. My truck is all torn apart. I'm sure someone here will have the answer. I know where there is a 56 and if I'm around there in the next couple of days I'll look. But I'm sure some one will chime in by then. Hope you don't have to pull the fender though.
