Chrome Beaver emblem?
Hey yall. I just my factory build manual for my 1960-1966 Suburban. While looking through the book I ran across a factory hood emblem that was used on the cab forward design truck that looks like a chrome braver holding up a chewed log. Am I crazy? What is this thing?

Re: Chrome Beaver emblem?

Heres the thread starting around 162...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=529038&page=7

Re: Chrome Beaver emblem?
I looked for a long time for the emblem thread and couldn't find anything other than the pic and part # in the assembly book.

Re: Chrome Beaver emblem?
Those emblems were used on trucks with the RPO 246 "Heavy Duty Chassis Equipment". I remember seeing some years ago on a junked out 80-series farm truck. It was a '62 if I remember correctly. I salvaged a factory tach instrument cluster from that truck but never thought to grab those emblems.

 Unfortunately, I think that truck went for scrap not long after I got the tach cluster from it. |

Re: Chrome Beaver emblem?
As everyone who is married or divorced knows, all beavers are chrome plated....

Not chrome, solid gold for what they can cost.
