Badges...yeah, i need some stinkin badges. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 07-10-2005, 07:32 PM

Well, I want some 500 badges. I've seen a couple ppl on here had custom made 500 badges that look like the original 350/400 badges, (and the rare 292 badge) but, I don't have that kind of cash, nor the hook up.
So here is one I found. Actually, a buddy located it, but has no clue what it may have came from. he deals with mostly imported stuff, german and itiallian, but he has enough american junk it coulda been from one of them.

Does any one know what this nay have come from?

Does anybody know where there is another badge like this in decent to mint condition?

Does anyone have some other 500 badges that'll look good...and in good shape?

Part of my wants to put it under the longhorn script badge on the back...a longhorn 500. The script is close enogh that it might look good.

Opinions?
Am I high?
Am I on the right track?

Rokcrln · 07-10-2005, 07:38 PM

My guess is about a 64 fairlane 500 sport coupe.

I think it'll look good under the Longhorn script. As for what it came off of....I'd say an old Benz?

Longhorn Man · 07-10-2005, 07:44 PM

Hmmm, ford parts.....that might hurt a bit huh?
I forgot to mention, there are NO markings on the back of it.

**tnblazerk5** · 07-10-2005, 08:57 PM

who cares what it came off of

as long as it looks good where you put it on at is all that counts

krue · 07-10-2005, 09:00 PM

Looks like it would work to me. Get a pic of it under the longhorn badge and let us see.

Skulk around in the yards until you find some 350 and 400 badges... and then do the JB weld to them. The authentic look will go a long way. IMO, the 500 badge in your OP is a lot like...

Dean23 · 07-10-2005, 09:40 PM

Those 500 emblems look like chrysler to me of of a carger 500 or a coronet......dont think they are ford!

70 shorty · 07-10-2005, 10:29 PM

I was thinking a chrysler product also.

69 longhorn · 07-10-2005, 11:56 PM

D@mn Andy.....if you said longhorn badges, I could probably dig up a couple! Mine is shaved pretty smoove.I wish you the best with that 500 CAD......bad to the bone, but you need a mid 3's gear to keep the revs down(I still have a few broken valve springs to prove that theory!) Best of luck,

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-11-2005, 12:20 AM

I would also vote ford but it could be off an old dodge too.

stllookn · 07-11-2005, 12:57 AM

Yes...let's see them under the Longhorn script!!!!! Can't wait!

Blue_71 · 07-11-2005, 01:59 AM

my vote would go to under the front sidemarker like the factory ones are, i have a set of dodge dakota 4x4 badges im going to put under the k20s front sidemarkers

chickenwing · 07-11-2005, 08:58 AM

Don't care what it is off of. I think it looks cool and would be a tastefull addition.

mocwon · 07-11-2005, 05:28 PM

I'm thinking late 60's Dodge Magnum 500....

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 07-11-2005, 05:40 PM

Coronet 500 also.

sleepyboy · 07-11-2005, 05:44 PM

FOMOCO Galaxy 500 is my vote where the badge is from

rwgregory · 07-12-2005, 01:52 AM

I think that badge is from a 60's Ford. However, check out the deck lid badges from
early to mid 80's Mercedes coupes, roadsters, and sedans. They made a 500 series
for about 6 to 8 years.

mblackburnjr · 07-12-2005, 10:50 AM

I would say chrysler also...every ford part i think i have ever seen,has the ford oval stamped on it somewhere.
