Default WTB 1976 Blazer Front Fender emblems

These must be rare because I can't find any on the internet. Can anyone help direct me to where some can be found? Much thanks. (I couldn't post this to the WTB forum)

If you are asking if they are rare, the answer is yes. It depends on what trim level your truck is. I just bought a rough set for my '74 for $40 and they need a lot of help.

If your truck is the Cheyenne model, I believe that the front fender emblems would have looked like this:
*I kick myself for not bidding on this set of NOS emblems a week or so ago. They went for $101 and are MINT!
And have a round Cheyenne emblem on the rear quarter panel.

If it was just the Custom Deluxe, I believe they were the same as the '74 emblems that came on my truck and looked like this:


I haven't looked at any brochures to see if things changed and am just going from memory here. A somewhat nice set of the lower emblems went for well over $100 on eBay earlier this month. They pop up from time to time, but rarely are they nice. Mine are questionable as to whether they can be restored, but having a questionable set for a reasonable price is better than nothing.

Yep that first photo is what I need. 1976. Cheyenne Model. It would be nice to find a pair. I found one. Now just need the other. Gotta keep an eye on ebay. Too bad LMC doesn't just have them. Someone in China should read this thread. They could make a small fortune just replicating them. Thanks.

Yeah, that NOS (new old stock) set only went for just over $100 and was WELL worth it. I have seen worn sets go for that. The Cheyenne emblems are more prevalent than the custom deluxe emblems I am looking for.

I have a set of front fender emblems from a 1974 K5 Blazer if they're the ones you're looking for. I've already sold the "shark teeth" emblems that were on the rear quarter panels..
