My first question is about the V6 Fender emblems, mine were missing and so far I've tracked down one replacement, it is in good shape but the color is faded. What is the proper color pattern for these emblems? These are the round-body emblems for '60-61, not the V-shaped emblems for '62-'66. Thanks a lot. I will show photos of progress soon.

I don't have an emblem here for reference, but another way would be to find a picture of one online. I believe Jolly has one at his site: http://www.6066gmcguy.orgWe will be looking forward to some pictures of your truck. Fire trucks are pretty much popular here. Bill

I see on some of the trucks there the emblems show red in the top half, blue on bottom, now I just need to figure out if the circle and V are white or silver, or maybe both existed?
A little more info on my truck...it was a rural fire tanker with typical low miles, that had sat in a backyard for years. When I found it, it was just a cab and chassis. Got a fresh battery in it and it fired right up and purred like a kitten. I then found a plumbing company utility body from an '80s GMC that measured out to be an exact fit to this truck. Took a 15 hour round trip to tow the body back strapped to a carhauling trailer behind my pickup, then after a year and a half of waiting finally got the project going. The cab is progressing well through the restoration, and the "new" body is mounted. Now the body will be modified somewhat into a rescue/utility type body, with parts I've saved from other fire truck projects, and the results will certainly be a unique creation. More updates to come.

There were 2 types of emblems. One is the standard one and the other is the custom one which is chrome. I believe the one on Jolly's site is chrome, therefore unless you have a custom cab, white paint goes anywhere you see chrome.
