1975–1976 Chevrolet Pickup Truck C10 C20 C30 NOS “454” Grille Emblem #357286 (Cast #343992)

Offered here is an authentic New Old Stock (NOS) Chevrolet “454” Grille Emblem, part number 357286, with casting number 343992. This original GM emblem was designed for use on 1975 and 1976 Chevrolet C-Series pickup trucks equipped with the powerful 454 cubic-inch V8 engine. Suitable for C10, C20, and C30 applications, this emblem represents one of the most recognizable identifiers of Chevrolet’s legendary big-block truck lineup.

For collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts seeking factory-correct details, genuine NOS emblems are among the most desirable components available. Unlike reproduction parts, New Old Stock items were manufactured by General Motors during the original production era and were never installed on a vehicle. As a result, NOS components provide unmatched authenticity, fit, finish, and collector value.

The Chevrolet 454 engine earned a reputation as one of the most powerful and respected big-block V8 engines ever offered in a production truck. Known for its impressive torque and heavy-duty capabilities, the 454-powered C-Series pickups became favorites among contractors, farmers, towing operators, and performance enthusiasts alike. The grille emblem served as a proud visual indicator of the truck’s powerful engine package.

Mounted prominently on the front grille, the “454” emblem immediately identified the truck as a big-block-equipped model. This distinctive badge became an important styling feature and remains a sought-after restoration component today. Many original emblems have suffered damage from age, weather exposure, collisions, repainting, or decades of use, making genuine NOS examples increasingly difficult to locate.

This emblem features the original GM design and appearance intended for 1975–1976 Chevrolet trucks. The casting number 343992 further confirms its authenticity and manufacturing origin. Whether restoring a work truck, show vehicle, survivor, or collector-grade pickup, this emblem helps preserve the vehicle’s factory-correct appearance.

Original NOS trim and emblems typically feature the correct dimensions, materials, finish, mounting points, and overall appearance. These details can make a significant difference when restoring a vehicle to factory specifications.
