'350' rocker emblems on '71 GT-37
Cruising my '71 Assembly Manual tonight, I took a look at the drawing for rocker molding installation.
I noted the '350' and '400' emblems and their callouts in the parts listing. The '350' emblem (#11 in the list) says it is used for cars with L30 engine (350-2bbl) but not for cars with WU2 (GT-37) option. The '400' emblem (#14) doesn't list an exclusion for WU2 cars. This got me thinking... I realize that this drawing was published on 7/29/1970 before 1971 production began, but is it true that 350-equipped '71 GT-37s aren't supposed to have the '350' engine callouts on the rockers? My car is a 350 GT-37 and doesn't appear to ever have had any '350' rocker emblems. My car never had the rocker moldings, but even cars without moldings can have engine callouts on the lower front fender in the same location. |

Mixup in published info....
All 350 equipped GT-37s received 350 emblems. Same as 350 equipped T-37's. Only 455 and 455 HO equipped A-body's received no pot metal emblem in that location.. factory 6 cyl A-bodys also were devoid of an engine fallout in this area.

My 71 4spd had them - no rocker moldings though.

Fenders had already been replaced on my white one by the time Steve had it, not sure if Gary replaced them or if Rick Wright had.
