Mike just to be clear, I, the OP never suggested that. This whole thing started, because I just thought it was really strange that my 55.1 has 54 badges and the truck really looks like it was born that way. The NAPCO badge works just fine with 55.1 badges as the above post by Joe clearly shows. This thread has gotten really confusing.
