1970 k20 different emblems
I bought a 1970 K20 long bed. On the passenger side front fender it has a "c/20" emblem with the 8 350 under it and on the driver side it has a "custom/10" emblem with the 8 350 under it. The emblems look original and the holes don't look new or redrilled on either side. Any thoughts? Also found it had two fuel tanks

Re: 1970 k20 different emblems
My guess is someone swapped a fender. PO could have put the custom/10 emblem on the original fender, but why?

Re: 1970 k20 different emblems
It's one or the other and one fender isn't original. C/20 came on base level trim and Custom/20 was mid-level in '70. The Custom would have stainless window trim, cloth seat inserts, vinyl scroll door panels, and have Custom emblem on the glovebox.

Re: 1970 k20 different emblems
should have C/20, Custom/20, or CST/20 (trim level-dependent) with the engine emblem under it (if a 350) and a 4 wheel drive emblem below the marker lamp. Can you confirm you have 8 lug wheels (and does you're VIN start with "KE2") and a 350 engine option on your SPID?

Re: 1970 k20 different emblems
Mine has: "CustomCamper/20 with the 8 [350] under it. It has "4 Wheel Drive" badge under the side running lights.
I have a 70 K20. I'm guessing most of the 3/4 ton 4wd were custom campers.

Re: 1970 k20 different emblems
Not at all - the vast majority of K20s (and C20s) were not Custom Campers. But if Z81 RPO was ordered, the badge indeed superseded the trim level badge (C/Custom/CST-20) for 65-71 C20s and 67-71 K 20s - as is the case for yours. Nice looking truck btw!. The 72 had a separate script. 65 was a one-year-only badge for the C20 only, 66-68 had the same rectangular Custom Camper Nameplate (C only in 66, C and K 67-68), and the 69-71 C or K 20 with Z81 ordered had one like yours.

Nice SPID, would like to see some interior shots or if you could direct me to some in an existing thread,that'd be great. Like white with gold a lot.

Re: 1970 k20 different emblems
I'd venture to guess the passenger fender was replaced by a previous owner. The battery has a tendancy to rot the lowers of the inner and outer fenders.

Something funny is when I first got the truck back a few years ago I kept thinking there was a lot of rust spots. No, it's the old DK Gold showing through the chips and nicks in the white. I'm tempted to try to remove the white and get back the original paint, but that's a bridge too far probably.
