Can anyone provide the correct measurements for both the 'cuda and by PLYMOUTH emblem locations for the tail panel?

The plymouth emblem is where the factory placed it but I added the cuda emblem

 :grinyes: I was going to guess about 1 1/2" from the lock. Sometimes the edge of the "cuda" is in line with the "by Plymouth"
The one above looks pretty good otherwise :2thumbs:

I've look at a few dozen 71's when I was doing mine and really couldn't find a definite location even on original cars so I just put it where it looked good. Pretty much how Mopar jack has it

Look at it this way, no matter a 70 or 71 - the factory just kinda plunked them on there and didn't get exact with placement.

So don't worry you are off by a fraction.

 :iagree:

Remember, there was a layout of where it went....but they were put on by line workers, so accuracy was sketchy at best.

Can anyone give me a exact location from the centerline of the trunk lock? My AMD tail panel wasn't drilled for the by Plymouth emblem.

Good thread, I need to get my emblems installed as well. Don't mean to hijack, but does anyone know what color the "by Plymouth" emblem is supposed to be? I've seen them in black with chrome edges and writing, and I've seen them in all chrome.
