Dealer Emblems and Stickers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SS Tim · 09-23-2016, 08:58 PM

Once as many of you know it was common for a selling dealer to add a cast emblem or quality license plate frame promoting their dealership. In later years stickers became more common as a cheaper alternative. Later yet this devolved to plastic emblems.

In an effort to preserve and database these emblems and stickers I'd like to ask everyone who can to share their plates, frames and stickers as well as those they may see.

However I do ask we try and limit this to 67-72 Chevys and GMCs.
Also please be sure to tell us the year truck its on along with the dealer info to help searches.

A 72 K/20 I just sold

**special-K** · 09-23-2016, 11:35 PM

I have some, but they are no longer on trucks. I have that Hicks Bros. one. I still see dealers putting their name on new cars. I requested that the dealer put nothing on my '92 when it came in. In a way it would have been cool on there since it would have said "Ideal GMC"

SS Tim · 09-24-2016, 04:05 AM

Great replies guys, Thanks!
However I must ask you to please take the time to edit your posts where applicable and add the dealer name and location as stated on the emblem/sticker/frame. In that way they become a searchable resource.

Emblems and frames don't have to be on a truck to post here as long as you know the year with reasonble certainty.

Plus if you read between the lines a little, Chevy car emblems or a multi line emblem such as a Pontiac-GMC are welcome additions as long as the dealer sold trucks too.

SS Tim · 09-24-2016, 04:40 AM

As a probable, here is a 72 triple blue (558) Custom/20 Longhorn with a build sheet and documentation showing it was sold new by...
Dick GRIHLAVA (Chevrolet)
El Cajon (CA)

Through a search I found this picture and believe it to be correct for a 72.

CONNELL (Chevrolet)

I've actually been there! About thirty years ago!

That is cool, I love this thread

SS Tim · 09-25-2016, 04:19 AM

A sticker I'd really like to see is:
Pat Knight Chevrolet
Victorville California.

Apparently they were open under that name from 70-74.
My 72 Custom/10 had a sticker shadow on the upper left tailgate. We were never able to take a good picture of it. As I recall, it was a stylized jousting knight astride a horse and the dealer name and address in white. So if someone has a legible sticker, please make the effort to post a picture.

**Elliot949** · 09-25-2016, 06:49 AM

These are from Branine Chevrolet in Mulvane Kansas... These appear to be from the early 70's... My Truck was originally purchased From Branine in 1966... The Dealership closed its doors in the mid 90's and sold to a Ford Dealership... since then the building has been several automotive type operations and now sits empty... I would really like to find some of the original "Cast" emblems from them but have not been able to locate any so these will be magnetized so they can be put on and off and not damage the truck...

Coley · 09-29-2016, 01:10 PM

Ok....I'm in.
Here are the originals off my truck (there are 2 for both front and back) which was a Fremont, California built truck and shipped to:

John Geer Chevrolet
Sacramento, Calif.

....hopefully license plate surrounds count. Always nice to have this original stuff with the truck, along with build sheet indicating the same destination, etc.

All good
Coley

I would probably need to remove my tailgate to get a good picture.

Interesting... so its on the bed sill below the tailgate?
Unless someone needed a reproduction thats fine.

But if you do want a better picture shooting some light under the tailgate ledge (maybe a mirror) would probably help a lot.

Yeah, the truck original had a step bumper. It also had a camper shell from the time it was new. I have the take off gate that is as nice as the day the truck was sold new. The sticker may have been more visible with the step bumper.

Galles Chevrolet, Albuquerque NM. Still in business. Decal on the tailgate of an original paint 72 K20.

If it resurfaces I will PM immediately.

SS Tim · 09-28-2016, 02:55 AM

Had hoped Eric would have posted this by now... but since it is a favorite of mine held back waiting for a bump,
Polar Chevrolet
White Bear Lake, MN on a 69-70 truck (I've forgotten)

midniteblues · 09-28-2016, 06:15 PM

These came off a gen correct c-40/50/60 in a local jy awhile ago.
Just too cool too leave them behind.

Kids truck had a "Gary chevrolet" emblem on it that we removed. its in one of my stash boxes but buried deep rite now.

These are usually on display somewhere in the garage.

Where is the picture of your dealer tag?

I realize those weren't asked for, but don't those fit in here, too?

Here is one I got from Teeitup who removed it from 67-72 truck. I find it comical for some unknown reason
