Just an idea I had

So I have been toying around with replacing the fender emblems on my 81 K-20. I really like the look of the older emblems and their locations on the fender. But the other part of me wants to go with the current style but "Scottsdale 20" in the original 81 location.

Am I wrong i wanting to put a bit of Old-School on this truck?

Any input/rants/raves are welcomed.

Honestly.... It's your truck, If you like it ... that's all that matters.

I think putting the old school fender badges on is an awesome idea! I might even have to use it! on another note.. Thanks for posting on my profile and complimenting my truck! Have a wonderful day.

Re: Just an idea I had

Your Truck, build it your way. In the end it only matters to you since you have to look at it. But personally I never much cared for the badging style of the 80's. I prefer the 70's badges. honestly I am not a fan of plastic badges anyway.

Re: Just an idea I had

I like all Chevrolet 73-87 fender emblems. Some of the 70's GMC emblems are kinda ugly, but the fender emblems and cab moldings are 2 things that I like about these trucks.

The Scottsdale 20 Emblem looks better IMO.
