Thanks guys, I can't decide if I want to keep them or not. They're different, but not sure in a good way.
Well some would say if I like them they are odd. Lol

If I recall, Genuine Chevrolet was their slogan after the heartbeat of America so they were put on well after the truck was built.

Sold at Auto parts stores everywhere, in the day. I sold a good pile of them at a local company in 94 era, before they became Advance Auto

Around here, Advance replaced Western Auto.

We had a Western Auto when I was a young boy. That was a cool store. Could get everything there. Still have some stuff from that store. Big A Auto Parts is what we got after Western Auto went out. I don't recall ever seeing lock thingies in either store, but then again it was a very small town that was typically behind the times.

Fairly certain I've even seen those in Auto Zone in recent times. As in the last couple years. Over in the impulse buyer section with stickers, pull lock knobs and other frivolous ****. My C20 had them too, just a different logo. I think mine were just a bowtie.
