hedotwo Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 Getting ready to start my next project and was wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket vendor that has plain old '69 Chevy C/10 front fender emblems. PE or resin. I'm backdating a '70 MPC C/10 Custom to a '69 stripper C/10. Thanks
hedotwo Posted March 26, 2022 Author Posted March 26, 2022 Well, I guess I'm going to need to make up decals or buy a 3D printer
Mike C. Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I could have sworn someone made photo etched emblems for the earlier ('64-'66) c/10s but as usual my search came up empty. I honestly don't know how Hobbylinc search works no matter what you type in you get 25 pages of tanks and warplanes. ???????????????? Edited March 26, 2022 by Mike C.
NOBLNG Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I don’t know how accurate you want to be, but you could either print a downsized photo. Photo paper would be thick enough.? Or try to scratch build a set. Pretty darn tiny though.? I did it for these Willys stampings, but they were all straight cuts. Edited March 26, 2022 by NOBLNG
hedotwo Posted March 26, 2022 Author Posted March 26, 2022 Those wouldn't really work anyway. To my knowledge the '69 and '70 C/10's had the same, or real similar, fender emblems. I'm looking for just the C/10 itself... no bowtie or "custom" or "cst". I'll likely have to make up some decals as I've searched and searched.

hedotwo Posted March 26, 2022 Author Posted March 26, 2022 I've used card stock a number of times for license plates and it works good. That's a good suggestion for these emblems.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 Would it be possible to cast a mold of the CST that you have on the side of the truck, make a resin replacement with that mold and only use the C, leaving off the ST?

Might have been worth a try but they're already gone
