1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Hey guys,

Fiddling with the new project and have a couple emblem questions.

1. What should the fender emblem say below GMC ??? (Jimmy, 1500,??)

2. The truck had a Custom emblem above the outside door handless, is that factory correct? Dose anyone know where I can get replacement Custom emblems, cant find them in the catalogs.

3. Glove box should it have GMC custom on it?

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

The glovebox should have a gmc custom emblem...I'll have to go outside tomorrow and look at the fender to see what mine says and the custom on the door ...havent seen on a jimmy. My 68 gmc suburban had it on the door and some trucks have it as well. We need a gmc guy to answer that one. Are you sure those are original jimmy doors?

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

I have no idea if the doors are original, except there is a GMC sticker on the driver door edge that matches the Vin # so Maybe??

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Thats an original door then. Ill have to research the custom emblem then. What does your glovebox spid say for options?

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Truck was repainted, doors have all hardware appropriate for Jimmy doors. Truck had a few hard years with i'm guessing a very young kid. Rebuild and replace......

The money hole.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

SPID was painted over, tried brake clean, and paint thinner to cut thru with no luck. Maybe wetsand with 1500 grit??? Any ideas wouild be appreciated on that one. :dohh:

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Try on a tiny portion with a q tip either acetone or lacquer thinner to see what happens.......id try a corner so as not to damage the spid

GMC
Jimmy for the fender badge.

''Custom'' in outline script right above door handles is correct. I have the 3 holes in the door of my '71 Jimmy. I have the chrome ''Custom'' badges in a box. Just don't want to lose them blasting thru the bushes when offroading. I don't think they make these in repops. Maybe GMC Paul?
Model Year 1970 was the debut of the GMC Jimmy, so late '69 would be correct for a first year Jimmy.
I do have ''GMC Custom'' on the glovebox door. Not the prettiest example though.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Great info, I was confused about the GMC JIMMY emblems since the catalogs list this option as a 1971-72 not 1970.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Just parted a Jimmy and it had the custom emblems on the doors also. If you're looking for a used set I have them for sale in the blazer section.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Well, I wasn't paying attention to GMCs when this was new. The 1970 Model Year Jimmy by GMC was rushed into production in late '69 when it became apparent K/5s were selling like hotcakes and Chevy couldn't keep up.
Sometimes, I think they made the K/1500 Jimmy just so Caddy dealers could sell a 'blazer-type'' without displaying Chevrolets on their lot.
[Always wondered why the Jimmy is a K/1500, not a K/750 like it's stablemate, the K/5?]
My '71 has the Jimmy badge. The paint shadow on your '70 shows a badge like that was there. I guess the jury's out, until you get a definite 1970 ''back-in-the-day photograph.

Here ya go

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Hmm. I don't have a 4 Wheel Drive badge under the side marker lights.

I want a GMC over K/750 badge. I'll have to have them made. I wonder what the melting point of Chrome is?

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

:wave: Great info, my Jimmy's build date is 10/69, vehicle # 5566 so pretty early production. Super rare, worth lots of mullah ha ha ha!

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

Now to clean that SPID sheet somehow. Why would anyone paint over it, darn kids.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

My 72 is a custom, but no custom emblem on glovebox. I don't think 72's had them?

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

On this 72 Custom Jimmy survivor the door emblems are there - no gb emblem though.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

I think the Custom is like the CST version for Jimmys & should say on the SPID. Chrome trim on windshield gasket and vent windows, & chrome trim on marker lights.

my 70 jimmy is not a Custom. but has the badging similar to Briank above except the "4wheeldrive" is just below the Jimmy emblem on fender. Not under the marker. So who knows.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

I can help out here tomorrow when it is light out

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

My 70 that I posted emblem pictures of is a Cst and does not say custom on the door. I have my spid pictured in another thread with more pictures of the Jimmy.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

I've had my 72 for 35 years, and it was untouched original before the frame-off. It is a Cheyane package and has the custom emblem on the doors and glovebox.
Couldn't find a pic of glove box, sorry, but it is on there.

Re: 1970 Jimmy emblem questions
 

My 72 Jimmy Custom SPID says"Cheyanne eqipment".
