"Custom Cab" emblem

As long as we're discussing "what models got what extras":I have seen a "custom cab" emblem immediately below the fender model emblems on a very few of our trucks. Most of the aftermarket suppliers sell them and list them for all 73-76s. What determined what trucks got them? I thought it might be just an F-350 thing but the suppliers lists say they fit all F series. Any ideas?

Great question - been wondering about that myself. What is a "Custom Cab", and what made it different than the other models? Was it a cab and chassis model?

Dennis Carpenter catalog p. 58 (not sure it's the latest catalog but it's on the same page as the other fender emblems). Part #D3TZ-16720-P.

I have never seen a CustomCab emblem on a 73-79 F100-F350 truck. I have, however, seen the CustomCab emblem on 73-79 F-500 and bigger trucks. I believe the emblem was on the door.

Custom was the base model. It is custom because you could order about any option that you wanted.
I have a 77 F100 Custom with 302/c4, rubber mat,
I have a 77 F150 with 351M/C6 (originally) with carpet.

Now my 63 has CustomCab on the doors, but the 77's just say Custom on the cowl.

However, the CustomCab emblem is for '73-'76's - still trying to understand when and where they were used. I'll check some of my dealer brochures.

Dennis, the Custom Cab nameplate is on the same pages as the Super Camper Special nameplates you scanned and posted several months ago.

LxMan1: The Custom Cab nameplate is different than the Custom nameplate, and wasn't used after 1976.
