motto
Thanks for jogging my memory. I also have one of the repros, but could not remember from whom I obtained it. It is a little more robust than the original, same size and with a bit finer detail on the face of it. Photo attached.
On the late issue Cab 13 Chev CMP's with individual instruments, this badge was located to the left of the dash panel, between the lamps switch plate and instruments. It mounts into two small holes vertically oriented. A 1mm hole about 1/4-inch above a 2mm hole. The upper smaller hole took a locking pin on the back of the original badge that prevented the badge from rotating when the hex nut on the centre stud was tightened down.
Not sure where the badge was placed on the earlier Chev dash, or when GM even started using the badge in their vehicles.
Wonder how many were removed by drivers and sent home as souvenirs to their families during the war?
