    '72 Badges? Should have said emblems.

    I did an inventory of all the parts I got with my '72, and it looks like I didn't get any badges with the car.

    Where were all the locations of badges on the car?

    Thanks,

    Ken

    Yep, emblems.

    Just on the front fenders?

    My gas cap looks like something is missing from the center.

    I also thought the grill had "Maverick" on the drivers side, but I don't see any holes or any other way one would mount there.

    72 Grabber would have them on fenders, decklid and Grill. The emblem on the grill just clamped in between the openings. The decklid used adhesive.

    No .. they were all unique parts ... Well .. theoretically they were all unique ..

    The Decklid emblem was actually the chrome part of the mutli-piece grill emblem.

    Search on eBay to see the different types.

    I thought the same thing when I started the thread.

    I went to the local wrecking yard yesterday, and the guy kept calling them badges.

    I searched ebay and the net before posting, but wanted to make sure I got the right ones.

    Any thoughts on what's missing from the center of the gas cap? I've seen two possibilities so far. One says "Maverick" and the other is the "head and horns" emblem.
