Fuel Tank Emblem

[skydrol]

Okay, I need help with some info here. I need fuel tank emblems for my '74 550 and am having trouble locating the right parts. Looking at the parts catalog it shows part #68111-34000. I bought a set of those from ebay (at a very nice price ) but the attachment holes do not line up with holes on the tank. I have come across another part # 68111-33000 may be the correct ones but first of all it is a discontinued part (go figure) and from pictures I have seen of them they have chrome outline with red filled in letters. This does not match any picture I have seen of the GT's. Can anyone help with this dilemma?

I believe the correct part number for the 1974 model 'L' tank badge is 68111-33001, which has the chrome lettering with black infill - this matches what I have on my own 1974 GT550. Both Reproduction decals and Badge Replicas can supply these - both list them as being their part number ST06.

That is exactly what I am looking for !! I just needed to ask the right person. Thank you for the info...$47.50 is a little steep for a set of emblems though. At least I know the right part number and where to find them . Thanks a ton !

For clarity - its not $47.50 per set of emblems, its $47.50 for each badge On the plus side, postage is included in that price from Reproduction Decals who price their stuff in USD. Badge Replica prices are in AUD and postage is additional. I buy sometimes from one, and other times the other depending on what the exchange rates against the CDN dollar are - the product is the same, as they both use the same supplier.

Thanks for the clarification. Hmmmm...that makes it almost $100 for a set of badges. If I was doing a show quality restoration I might actually consider it, but as things are I guess I will just make my $30 set work !!

It's a crazy amount of money for 2 badges

I think that I might have a set...but they are for a 75. Let me know if you're interested and I'll take the time to look. It's easiest if you email me at jeff.kushner@fgould.com , otherwise I might not see your msg for a few weeks. you are right 100 is craxy high for two emblems and to me, it's just a matter of someone taking advantage of someones need. you can contact a gas tank seller on fleabay and ask for just the emblems and chances are, he will sell them to you since GT parts either don't sell or don't get a very high price. you have to get inventive when restoring so your costs don't go through the roof!!
