HEADS UP A New V-6 Emblem

[jbgroby]

I was searching for a good picture of our V-6 emblem for a custom tire cover I want for my in the bed spare and on Google I found this for sale on eBay.

I've never seen a plain V-6 Oval Emblem, We've seen this on the Magnum Series, but never plain. Someone might want to scoop this up for our collection

Thats way too much for one emblem, and its 50% off right now!

[jbgroby]

I don't disagree but the important fact is, is it an actual correct emblem?

That's the same emblem I put on my 67 pickup. I heard of someone selling a v6 and transmission from a large B-series truck. The story is the truck was an old semi used on a dock on the West coast and later shipped up to ND and converted to a grain truck. Anyway, by the time I got to the truck, the PO already stripped the entire cab off and threw in a scrap pile, while leaving angina in the frame - he was making a trailer out of the box. It didn't run, but for almost nothing he loaded the whole thing in my pickup (same pickup it was going in) and let me roam through the scrap pile where I found these hood emblems. I hadn't seen them before either.
So, that's where mine came from - a large truck, I think was a 65 5000 series.

I just checked the part numbers for the two I have; one with and without the "Magnum" and thunderbolt. The part numbers are the same 2484679 for both.

There is another eBay listing for the identical Magnum version with a different part number as well 2483671?! Listed as being for a 66.

Maybe the plain version is also a magnum version and the "Magnum" and Thunderbolts added in the later years with a different part numer(?); Just a guess.

The must have had different emblems for 305/351C trucks and the Magnums. Since it looks like the back surface of these emblems are flat, my guess these are for '66 and newer E/H/J or Steel Tilts.

That's a cool emblem. Never have seen one myself.

Bob is absolutely correct but after 67 these emblems were no longer used:thumbsup:

Still looking for the elusive 'V6 Magnum Power' '67-'68 pickup truck fender emblem.

You mean this one? All I've seen are photo's.

That's a real rare emblem, I think it was only used in 67. Nearly 8 years ago someone posted one off a yellow 67 GMC, I still see that truck occasionally in Northern California. It was last May I saw it in Fairfield California near the Travis Air Force Base, the truck now is a complete roach. If I see it again maybe I'll ask the owner if he want to let go of the emblems since it's powered by Chivy small block!:teehee:

[BobBray]

Yeah it is! I can't figure out if they were OEM or a dealer accessory. Doesn't show in any parts manual. My truck never had them (early '67 Fremont build), and the few pictures of them that I have show them in different locations, above and below the Camper Cruiser emblem. Never saw them on any larger truck. A real mystery!

The pic you posted of this yellow 67 is the same one I've just been talking about, I've seen it around several times in Northern Cal. It too is a Camper Cruiser, makes me wonder if that particular Magnum emblem only came on the Camper Cruise?

Bringing back an old thread here, but if anyone ever runs across one of these V6 Magnum Power pickup emblems, I might know a place that could reproduce them. It might even be possible with a good photo and dimensions.,

Also an idea would be not just to limit a reproduction to a 351, Also include 401 or 478?:upyes:

Hey Jake, Here is a decent head on view of the 60,61 round badge. I have also included a good view from an ad that has the GMC in the correct 60,61 letters.

Sorry for the poor photo quality. I've yet to learn the trick of taking a decent photo that is within the size limitations. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171231/d26d3a7f786752420c662f4490bcdc89.jpg
