Gary Lewis Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Dulled a bit, but not faded. Have never seen one of those. Probably one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARIAT 85 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Dulled a bit, but not faded. Have never seen one of those. Probably one of these: That *is* unusual. I have never seen one of those before. C1TZ indicates a part number from the 1960s. No way that is the correct part number. That emblem is clearly from the 1980s. The part number should start with the letter "E."

But, they used many things for decades after they were first introduced, and in this case an emblem that was first used in '61 was used apparently through '89, which is the end of that heavy truck catalog.

Guilty. So, the part number should, indeed, start with E0TZ. Apologies, Rick. But, basic number "10280C82" does not exist in the parts catalog that I can find. Nor do the words "Custom" and "Cab" occur back to back in there. And, there is no mention of such a name plate. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary I will check my medium duty brochure when I get the chance to see if it appears on any of the trucks shown there. One thing I find interesting is that the custom cab trim level that included the brushed aluminum bezels and door panels started in '81 as all the silver trim part numbers start with E1, not E0. Evidently there must have been a custom cab in 1980 that did not have those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Just a thought... Could this be Latin American badge? I'll bet that's what it is. But I have no way to verify that. Unless, of course, I get close to one of the rare Bullnoses I see when we are in Nicaragua. However, the Sandinistas overthrew the Somozan government in 1979 and were in power until 1990. We sided with Somoza and American vehicles quit being imported. So there are very, very few Bullnose trucks there, and the few that are may have been brought in by someone from the States. So, it is unlikely that I'll find one, but I'll look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
