55 Custom Cab Door Emblems

The previous owner included a very nice set of custom cab door emblems when I purchased the 55 however he never got around to installing them. Although the truck is not a custom cab, I am not a purist therefore I eventually brave-up and drill the 2 holes. I'll be honest, I wish there was another way I could install without drilling...any suggestions? Thanks.

I just took a look at a 55 Custom Cab emblem I have, and they would work perfectly for a strip of emblem tape. Cut and grind down the 2 posts, and lay a strip of emblem-double sided tape and you'll be golden. The inside of the emblem is even recessed slightly, so the tape won't stick them out too far.

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Since I live in Florida, hopefully there is some good tape out there that can hold-up to heat.

Just get some decent quality stuff like 3M and you'll have now worries. The factories have been taping on emblems for decades now.
