Re: "Limited Edition" Emblems?

Yeah, pics? However, I don't recall any "Limited Edition" badges on any of the '67-72's. The truck-buying public didn't care, back in the day. They bought these trucks to use as, well....a truck. The only limits that I can recall was how much you put in it and who you let drive it.

Re: "Limited Edition" Emblems?

Heres a picture of the two, and a different one from my truck for comparison. The paint on the 'G' is gone because Im going to repaint and polish them, but I thought I should find out what Im really working with. The second pic, is the back of them. The top one is my old one, and the bottom one is the "Limited Edition".

Nope. I bought a 4 core rad with shroud and the guy threw in the emblems. Everything for $50

Ya, after I got them, I started looking as close as I can around the box, and it looks solid like my other ones. Im just trying to do some research before I go any farther with these. Ether way, they would look better on my truck. Makes it more unique. And thanks so much for the rad.

I remember the thread and so does too much stuff. Maybe we have the name "Ernest" wrong? Anyway,that's why we kept asking if that's where you got them. They are definitely not original. They are definitely made using a generic sticker. GMC definitely never made a "Limited Edition". And,GMC's 50th anniversary was many years before Chevy's.

Re: "Limited Edition" Emblems?

I went to Glenelg HS. The yearbook was called the Palindrome. I just realized I put my hood letters on CMG. Oh well,it's look right in the mirror. It's like that lady that got busted for her vanity plate when the cop read it in his mirror...3M TA3 (can't get that one amy more)

I always wondered what an Ostenre was. Thanks for clearing that up.

Re: "Limited Edition" Emblems?

Hey everyone. I thought I would do a little last update on this hole thing. Turns out, the emblems are fake (I was about 60/40, but oh well). I found this out yesterday when I went to the NHRA show in Pueblo, and as I was looking through the swap meet, me and my dad were looking for a Delray emblem for my bros car. Well when me and him were looking through this bucket, I found another GMC emblem for the side, and the box on the bottom was the exact same texture and everything, but it did not have the "Limited Edition" sticker on it. So it was just a blank box which kinda raised some questions, but anyway. Just letting everyone know that my emblems are 100% fake.

Ether way dosnt matter, Im still putting them on my truck.
