I would like to take off the LT badges from my cab and have a couple of the 6pack badges like on the crewcabs from the 70's put on my truck.

The badges were actually in the piece of the cab molding usually alluminum with paint that wrapped all the way around the back of the cab.

Anyone got any ideas on where to have custom badges made...would like them to look like the lt badges just have the design of the earlie 6pack badges (am I making any sense)???

And of course: Badges, we don't need no stinking badges! ;)

The ones I saw said 3+3, that what you mean, or something different?

That is all I remember too, I don't recall a 6 pack

My favorite was the camper special, but that does not benefit the direction of this thread. I don't remember a 6-pack being on a GM truck. Maybe a Mopar...

6 pack was the 440 6-pack on the Dodge 440CI Hemi motors. Called a "6-pack" because it was 3 2 barrel carbs on top of the motor.

GTO's and GTX'es were most known for having 440 six packs... I still want a GTX.

Wow.....so many things wrong in that last post I dunno where to even begin....:p:

A hemi is a 426, not a 440, and a GTO is a PONTIAC for starters..... a hemi didn't come with a 6 pack.....

sorry, not trying to be a smart-ass, just helpin out...

Actually the Hemi was first a 331ci in 1951. The Hemi went from a 301ci all the way to the best known 426.....The "Firepower" motors were the first Hemi head motors by chysler used in every line of car and truck that era they were the 241,259,270,276,291,301,315,325,331,341,276,354(ma rine),391,392 (these were all the earlie hemi's)

My dad is a MOPAR guy, I love the muscle but hate chysler......I drive my families 440 six pack AAR 71 cuda (slime green) anytime I'm home....we rebuilt it while I was in Highschool... I wanted to rebuild a 69 Hemi Charger Daytona.....How many have ever seen a grown man cry I mean ball....my dad while trying to synch 3 ...2 barrel rochesters PITA! Way before the days of digital gauges and even gauges that were worth a crap......there is currently a max wedge belveder in my dads shop it's a 392 hemi from the factory ready to race........

Anyway

I have seen the 3 + 3 camper specials but I have also seen an old crew cab work truck non dually that had 6pack badges, looked just like the 3 + 3 but of course with diffrent letters on it.....maybe a custom deal?

Don't really go for the bling bling of billet......

I understand about not wanting too much bling.

WilE1, he could make it in a brushed finish that would be similar to the duramax badge. Not too blingy....

I know what you are talking about. My brother's drag car was a 70 GTO with 3 deuces. I wasn't real old back when he was racing, but I remember plenty of long evenings of Dad messing with those carbs. He always said, though, that he would rather work with 3 rochesters than one Holley.

"My dad is a MOPAR guy, I love the muscle but hate chysler......I drive my families 440 six pack AAR 71 cuda (slime green) "

the AAR was only offered in the 1970 year model lineup.
