I don't believe the 69-73 used nuts either. My 70 only uses adhesive.

You are correct, I corrected my post above to reflect the correct information.

Question:
I just ordered "Stingray" badges. My front fenders unfortunately have no holes in them. I was thinking about just, shaving off the prongs, locating the position the emblem belongs in, and using adhesive as directed above?

Anyone have experience with this?

Yes. Had my car repainted about 18 years ago. All new emblems and side marker lights. Anyway, cut pins as you said. Stuck on with the foam double stick tape they came with. 18 years later and there still there and still look great.
