was there ever a first gen with a hood emblem?

[trav0302]

I got two hoods with my k5 and one of them have holes for a hood emblem. I'm pretty sure some of the trucks came with one but did any of the k5's?

The 69's did. Had the bowtie on the hood instead of in the grille.

YEP. Mine has one on it. Not that anyone will see it all up in there hiding in the parts tent out back

I know the one your talking about but this is alittle different. the holes are on top of the lip. This will give ya a better idea. I probably wont use this hood because my other one is in better shape.

I'm thinking some hillbilly mounted something on that hood...but I could be wrong...

I have the same 2 holes in my hood too, But I put them there. I will dig out an old picture of my hood emblem or just put it back on so you guys can have a good laugh

69-70 K5s have a blue bowtie mounted to the front face of the hood.... For 71-72 it was dropped into the grille area.

still didn't help me. But really awesome link! I'm sure you guys are right and some dork just put some holes in it. But i could use this hood for my butterfly scoop. Just because i can! This is just one of those things i have always wanted since i was a kid. So i bought it one day off ebay.
