Hey guys!!

SO the fenders i got for my truck do not have holes in them for the emblems..


does anyone have measurements of where the emblems go? Like how far down from the body line or in the from the edge of the fender.

I hate the idea of drilling into my painted fedners but i gota because i got GM custom delux emblems from a swap meet for $40 :)!

I'm planning to fill in my emblems with epoxy the make the backs flush, then use 3M tape. Someone on there gave me that idea a while back.

I've got a fender currently off the truck, so it would be east to pull the emblem and measure the hole placement. If I get home while it's still daylight tomorrow then I can get that looked at.

That's a great idea, because my truck didn't come with the fender emblems but I would love to add them, and have no intention on taking my fenders off lol

You could still use the holes there to get the exact correct location though. I'm leaving the posts intact on my emblems for that purpose alone. There just won't be any nuts on the inside of the fender holding them on

measured from the line on the body(the one that contiues from the front of the truck to the tailgate) it is 2.5 in down.

from the end of the fender closest to the door it is 3 5/8 in and 11 7/16 in

double edge tape them and be done with it, no place to make holes for rust
