Different glovebox emblem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**clemdaddy** · 07-17-2016, 10:46 AM

I've seen lots of plastic painted or chromed plastic glovebox emblems but this one I have never seen before. Its metal in brushed satin finish with black paint in the lowered background.

Anyone seen one like it? And what do you know about them?
Post up pics of any unusual glovebox emblems.

I probably should have done a search to see if anyone else has posted this but heres the pic.

Mathew21 · 07-17-2016, 10:54 AM

I like that one.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-17-2016, 11:40 AM

Is that one in your possession?

65chevysub · 07-17-2016, 05:06 PM

I want one of those.

**clemdaddy** · 07-18-2016, 03:24 PM

We're bringing this back up because this truck I'm working on had one and I want to get one myself. they're cool.
Could be a dealer had them made special...
Could be a certain year or assembly plant had them made...

Looking for knowledge, if you have one or know about them, lets hear.

My buddy Chad said that someone he remembers had one that was made of metal but didn't have the bowties just the chevrolet name.

So if you know something about these...

DaddyOh · 07-18-2016, 11:56 PM

I'd like to find an aluminum one as well... would like to know if available.

If not, do you have the measurements? Particularly, the upper distance, lower distance and width. Any measurements help...Might be able to run some (.125") 5052 aluminum through a CNC router to replicate.

I would be glad to make measurements and some accurate closeup pics.
Give me a couple of days and I will PM you.

Thanks DaddyOh

**clemdaddy** · 07-21-2016, 12:54 PM

sending art to DaddyOh... maybe he can make them.

66BigBackWindow · 07-22-2016, 03:50 PM

I'm in also. That just has a really cool look to it and is different, but not so different that it does not look natural.

Danny#2 · 07-22-2016, 05:33 PM

I would also like to have one for my 66.

**chevy2tom** · 07-22-2016, 05:44 PM

This would be awesome, you can count me in for two, if you were to make some for others that is!!

DaddyOh · 07-23-2016, 07:40 PM

Anyone know the width (1.00", 1.125",etc) of the glovebox emblem by chance?

**The Rocknrod** · 07-23-2016, 08:12 PM

1.321" by my digital micrometer.

DaddyOh · 07-23-2016, 09:03 PM

Thanks

**clemdaddy** · 07-24-2016, 09:36 AM

the measurement on the existing metal one is 1 3/8"

chad64chevy · 07-24-2016, 09:46 AM

hey clem I have been looking for a couple hrs. here an there an still can't find where I seen it at! I did find that 66lsx made one from aluminum that's pretty cool using solidworks! a lil tweaking the right cuts an angles and it can be done

**The Rocknrod** · 07-24-2016, 10:03 AM

I went out this AM and used a dial Mic just in case on the glove box door that has the holes for the emblem.
The area that the emblem sits in is no more than 1.250" in width.
If you went with 1.375" (1-3/8") width it would sit outside that area.
I also placed a pic of the profile side view.
Maybe they are supposed to sit above that profile, I don't really know.

**The Rocknrod** · 07-24-2016, 10:15 AM

Oh, I get it - they're beveled on the back side (Ach du meine Güte)

**The Rocknrod** · 07-24-2016, 10:17 AM

The aftermarket unit I have width is shown here (1.322?):

TJ's Chevy · 07-24-2016, 10:23 AM

Count me in. Would Love to have one of those for my 66!
