Does anybody know the exact location of the mounting holes for this emblem, I can find it for the 70's, but that doesnt help much.

Thanks guys

I installed my trunk emblem as the assembly manual had shown several years ago, and it was completely WRONG. It called for being 00.55 inches from the right side of the trunk deck & whatever from the bottom. I drilled the holes dead nuts per the manual & when I went to install my NOS badge, the mounting pegs hit the back side of the trunk. DO N O T TRUST THE ASSEMBLY MANUAL.

At CB04 I measured the distance from the trunk lid right edge to their badge on numerous cars with the only thing I had, my GM ignition key. On 99% of the 71 & 72's I looked at, it was the length of my key minus the "square head". I just measured my key now & it comes out to 1.25".

At CB05 I had too much going on & never thought to measure the lower lip distance to the badge, oh well, there is always CB06.

I love to give home made gifts, which one of the kids would you like?

I'm looking for the same thing, Skeeveman. If you run across this info, I would love to hear about it. My assembly manual for 71 Chevelles has got nothin' but vague drawings.

I'm a ways from putting emblems on my trunk yet so the holes are readily visible. I'll number them 1 thru 5 from right to left and dimensioned from the right side of the trunk lid and up from the bottom:

1) 2.75 over and 1.60 up.

2) 5.20 over and even with #1.

3) 7.05 over and 2.10 up.

4) 9.35 over and even with #3.

5) 9.80 over and 3.10 up.

The holes are 3/16" diameter, but I would lay them all out and compare them to your emblem before drilling any holes.

Great info! Thanks, Tom! I will make a template using your measurements and match it to the emblem before drilling. Measure 5 times, drill once, I always say.

Has anyone ever seen the Chevelle emblem behind the quarter window on a '72?

Don't know who put that there but it wasn't the General.

Thanks, Jim. I did not think it was stock

Yep; That's the trunk emblem that's seems to have migrated forward and up.
