Can any of you tell me what the dimensions (length, width, position of mounting studs, etc) of the hood side Chevy emblem on the '35 to '38 trucks are? Are they the same for all four years?

A fellow sent me an email with a photo of one he's trying to identify. It looks like it's 18.5 inches wide.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
John

John, I have an old hood side emblem for my 37 "buried" somewhere up in the garage attic. Without even looking I can tell you it is not 18.5 inches wide!! You can see a pretty decent shot of the emblem if you go to the gallery and check out the 37. Let me know if I need to go up and dig out the old one?!

John -

It is NOT 18.5 inches wide, it is 7 1/2" wide and 2 3/8" tall. Interestly, the General Motors trucks from that era had a very wide piece of trim on the side of the hoods in order for the words "General Motors" to fit on the insignia.

Hope this helps!

if ordering repops be sure to ask if they are painted. I ordered one set and they were not painted while another supplier's is.

Okay guys -- Thanks. I'm not sure what he has, then. Maybe it's a wall hanger or some sort of dealership decoration/sign.

Regards,
John
