V6 Emblems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Texasbigblock · 01-28-2009, 09:30 PM

Hey yall, im from the 67-72 part of this forum and haven't been in the 60-66 one in a while. I have a set of V6 hood emblems that i pulled off my 64 GMC and was wondering what all years had the 305 V6 and which years also had these emblems. Thanks!

The 305 V6 was available throughout the entire generation. You could get it from 60-66, and it would indeed have the emblem.

On a side note, I think GMC used the 305 in light duty pickups through 1968. I may be wrong on that one.

Texasbigblock · 01-28-2009, 09:40 PM

okay, this is on a 64 3/4 ton. it was available only in GMC correct? Also does anyone know if they are reproduced by anyone or is OE the only way to get em.

Texasbigblock,
I have a 63 GMC with the 305v6.
And I also have the emblems on the side of the hood. what are you looking parts for the motor or the emblems? Here is what my emblem looks like and I have also seen them chromed. mayby this web site might answer some questions if not these dudes might be able to. www.6066gmcguy.org/

I was referring to the emblems themselves, the 305 is unfortunately long gone...

4dranch · 01-28-2009, 11:51 PM

I hope the web site helps, post some pics of your emblems yours are off your fendor right.

Texasbigblock · 01-28-2009, 11:54 PM

im sorry, i said fender but they are actually indeed off the side of the hood

4dranch · 01-29-2009, 12:09 AM

Are they a chrome set?

Texasbigblock · 01-29-2009, 03:16 PM

they are shiny like chrome but i don't belive they are actually chromed. However they came from the factory is what these are.

Custom package trucks that had the 305 came with them they were chromed with blue and red paint in the middle custom trucks had all the stainles trim on windsheild and around door and had a custom logo with the chrome grille and side mouldings my 62 is custom it has all these i will get pics up for you sometimes you can find emblems on ebay last year i bought a mint set off of ebay for 60 bucks pricelss to me base trucks were painted white with red and blue like 4d ranch

**Matt's k5** · 01-29-2009, 03:34 PM

one pic i can get close ups if needed

jbgroby · 01-29-2009, 09:09 PM

Tex,

There were 2 different locations and styles for the emblems. The first series were the round type and those were bolted the the upper front section of the fenders. I've attached a picture to let folks know.

The reason for the style change is because beginning in late 1962 model year (after June I believe) the hood designed changed to the flat chevy/GMC clone.

The second series were the inverted triangle style and were mounted on the hood. Here is a pictures of the OEM set.

Texasbigblock · 01-30-2009, 01:27 PM

okay, thanks yall. mine are the big V shaped hood mounted ones. This truck is a 64 custom.

TwiggyTheDrummer · 02-03-2009, 10:28 AM

OE is the only way to get them. Just like many other GMC specific parts, they just aren't made anymore.
