Scrambler Emblems Correct Location

Does anyone know the correct location for the SCRAMBLER emblems on the rear quarters? Mine has got the OEM wooden bed rails and, as a consequence, has the two bolt heads on each side of the rear quarters for the rail bolts. I've looked at various pics of various Scramblers and I've seen these emblems mounted in several different places. One picture of a Scrambler with the bed rails on it had the emblem centered in between the bolt heads forward of them and even with them. This looks like the most logical place for them to go but I'm not sure that this is the factory location. Does anyone out there know? Pics and measurements of the correct location would be appreciated.
 
There is a thread on here somewhere. I'm sure someone will post a link.
 
Mine never had those emblems...and one of the first things I did back in 1982 was remove the "Scrambler" hood decals.
 
From my understanding, the only Scramblers that came with those emblems were the base models. If yours was a SR or SL it would have had the stripes and said Scrambler on the hood. Base models had no stripes or hood decal therefore got the emblem on the rear quarter. I assume base models did not get the wood rails either.

I would think the rails where optional across the board as they are needed for work. So you would buy a base model with the rails for extra capacity. Just a thought
 
When I bought mine it came with the emblems at the rear quarter panel and wood rails.
 
This is my '84, Base Model, factory paint/decals/and I would assume rear emblems:

Mine has the top hood decal, not the side "Scrambler" decals.

As for the emblem placement, I am sure they were installed like the decals, wherever the factory dude wanted to to stick them, no exact placement :twocents:
 
My red Scrambler has these emblems, too. I believe it was a base model originally. I repainted it and modified it. I put a full repro decal kit on it, so it says "Scrambler" on the sides of the hood now, too.

I put the emblems back on because a previous owner screwed them on, through the sheet metal. I forgot to fill the holes before paint, so I stuck them back on. Kind of repetive, Scrambler decal/Scrambler emblem, but :shrug:

I put the emblems on mine since a don't have the decals. That way when people look at it and initially think it's a stretched CJ7 they can be informed that it's a Scrambler.
 
Thanks to all! Now I know where to put them. I'm glad that I didn't go with my initial instinct or they would've been way off. Now I'm waiting for my double sided tape to come in so I can get these original beauties stuck on where they belong!
 
Looking at the original brochure, for 1982 anyway, none of them have the Scrambler emblem...not even the Base. They all have the Scrambler hood decal. Like shoulder belts, the emblem must have been added in later years.
 
My '83 had them and my '82 did not. AMC however, was notorious for changing things whenever they wanted too, so I'm not sure there is a hard and fast rule for this.
