Any suggestions on where I could find a pair of Camper Special Fender Emblems for a '66 F250. My local classic car parts shop no longer carries them, and so far no joy on ebay.

 

Do you need the whole emblem or just the plastic insert?

 

just the plastic insert would be fine, but I may need the whole emblem if it is damaged while removing it. Thanks

 

The plastic inserts were never supplied by Ford, only furnished with the emblem. 1965 is a different emblem than 1966.

These inserts were reproduced by Carolina Classics in Durham NC, but I don't know if they're still available: carolinaclassics.com

The fender emblems have pins on the back, are held to the fender with barrel clips. Gently pry on each side of the emblem till it comes off.

A plastic putty knife works well and won't damage the paint if used properly.

 

Checked on Carolina Classics web site and it looks like they may stock them. thanks for the help

 

I forgot to mention: The inserts are retained to the emblem with little tabs that have to bent outwards to R&R the inserts.

Care must be taken, because these tabs were not designed to be bent, and can snap off.

 

I just bought a pair from Sacramento Vintage Ford. They were pretty cheap.

Is this what you are looking for? There are 2 on ebay

OOPs sorry I now see this is an f100

 

The emblems are the same right and left as the seller pointed out, but if you read the ad again, you'll see that the seller said he only has ONE.

 

I said there are 2 on EBAY which there are. I did not say the same seller has both of them. However both sellers know what they have and are proud of them.
Just looked at my latest Dennis Carpenter book and they have the insert Part#C6TZ 16719 CP $35.00 a pair phone number 1 800 476 9653

 

Thanks for all the info. I am going to start removing all of the body trim this week in preparation for getting the truck repainted. I can tell that I will need to replace some of the trim hardware because it is really rusted out in some areas. Fortunately most of the trim itself looks pretty good. I just have one or two pieces that are missing which I'll need to find replacements for.

 

Good morning, Bill......

I'm looking for a pair of '66 250 camper special fender bezels w/ red camper special backgrounds. Thoughts? Part numbers? Appreciate your time!

I made a bunch like this one in both red and black background but was too time consuming with so many other projects. I recently saw some for sale but the script is not very accurate.

 

Good morning.....

Not sure if this is where my original thread started, but I asked about a pair of camper special 1966 fender emblems and I remember you made a few of them. At the time, you mentioned having a pair of black ones still available??? Are they still available? Appreciate your time.

I'm planning to make some later this summer or early fall, but only in red. I'll make a post when they're available. The optically clear acrylic has been bought up to make Covid guards at cash registers. My nephew has a plastics business in Texas so he's going to make me some blanks and I'll add the graphics.
