Are these factory emblems? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue85 · 05-24-2007, 10:09 PM

Went to an old farm today and found a 68 GMC sittin in the bush had some emblems on the door. Just wondering if these are factory emblems or what? Woulda took more pics but my camera went dead. BTW the truck also had a vinyl top?

**special-K** · 05-24-2007, 10:22 PM

WOW!All I can say is I never saw them before...Canadian,only???

Blue85 · 05-24-2007, 10:31 PM

The vin came back from being built in the Oshawaw plant, but the glovebox decal was too faded to read.

**too much stuff** · 05-24-2007, 10:45 PM

Yes they are. The truck would be a 67-68 gmc custom.

Blue85 · 05-24-2007, 10:49 PM

Heres the Vin of the door jamb of the truck, C9E1481118168. What's with the second number being 9? There is another truck in the same yard, Vin C9S2471115352, again with the 9?

kelsfine69 · 05-24-2007, 10:53 PM

The GMC 910 and the custom are factory Canadian truck. Never seen the flags tho??

68wip · 05-24-2007, 11:01 PM

Huh

centsless · 05-25-2007, 11:34 PM

The flag emblem was also on the 1965 and 1966 Impalas. The custom emblem is factory for the truck, though.

JameslovesJammie · 05-26-2007, 09:48 AM

Wow! You need to get some more pics!

muddpile · 05-26-2007, 03:51 PM

I'd like to see the vinyl top. Was it one of those factory spray-on jobs, or was it an actual vinyl someone put on?

larry may · 05-26-2007, 04:49 PM

Just seen that 9 show up on another thread . Come to find out for that one the 9 was after 72 was 1977 or so when the 9 came into play in the vin . may have been like two days ago on the 67-72 message board.

the vinal top.... if it was a spray on deal, that was a dealer installed accesory, there will be no documentation of it on the SPID sheet nor build sheet. They came in black or white, and was basicly undercoating... or spray on bedliner applied to teh cab roof. There's a board member here with e red 4X4 that has his like that, still original too.
