Any ideas?

Is Custom or Custom Camper listed on the SPID?

alsriv2 · 02-07-2011, 01:08 PM

You know, I've had the truck for 5 years now and never looked to see if the SPID was still there. When I get home I will take a look and snap a pic to post.
I will also see if I have any pics from when I bought it from a gentleman in Nebraska.

These are on my '72

Maybe the Custom Camper style, but probably not the older GMC style.

Note how my 67 GMC in the top photo below is a little different than spinning wheels truck, especially in the length of the C, t, and tail on m. Where's the geek smiley?

Mounts might be different too, I'm not sure.

Blazers & Jimmys didn't follow the same trim level theme as trucks. Neither did Suburbans for that matter. A Custom Jimmy or CST Blazer is top of the line. A Custom GMC or Chevy truck is mid-level (67-70) and a base in 71/72.

The 133" wb GMC Custom Camper is the same thing as a Chevy Longhorn. That's the model,not an option...just like longbed or shortbed. Your truck has the Custom trim level option.

Special-K, I know this is an old thread but I was wondering. I found a set of doors that have the script custom on the door, were those only on GMC's? Was going to use it on my 69 custom, but not sure.

**michael bustamante** · 08-15-2016, 06:54 PM

those are GMC specific. but GMC and Chevy both use the same doors. youll just have to fill in the holes

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 08-15-2016, 09:38 PM

I have a set of these emblems and they all so came on the handi bus.

Not reproduced yet, so I had my originals restored. You can definitely find them, but they're all going to have 40 years of exposure, so for a restoration you're going to wind up refinishing them. For good quality driver stuff they're out there!

So far as I can tell the "Custom" is the same emblem as the "Custom" in "Custom Camper", they just add the second word. So technically the "Camper" would be harder to find than the "Custom" part.

**72peace** · 08-16-2016, 09:34 PM

i know they're wrong, but they look cool. So i may use them anyway...

I have em original to my 68 GMC and I love them. I didn't know when I got the truck it was an original thing I thought it was just something cool the previous owner put on.

MattyBs71 · 01-15-2018, 01:15 PM

Cause the truck is pretty "Custom" LOL

DesignMine · 01-15-2018, 08:35 PM

I wish I could find some of these now. The ones on mine were beyond repair and I would love to put a set back on.

what is this the parts board? How the heck did a 7 year old thread get brought back just so a member can announce his truck has these emblems and next thing you know we have two people posting they are looking for these and someone selling them some.

Andy4639 · 01-18-2018, 09:06 AM

I have these on my ramp truck. Have no idea if they are correct are not. C-20.

Tim just because!

It gets worse!

I too am looking for a set of two! My 70 GMC came with them but they are pretty rough.

Andy4639 · 01-18-2018, 01:03 PM

Mine is a Chevy emblem. Sorry wasn't looking at the GMC part!
