Default side emblems failing

Wow, I looked closely at my "powered by Ford" emblems/badges on the car sides and realized that they are disintegrating from the inside out! I can hardly read the word Ford on one of them and the other is getting bad too. So, I thought no problem, I'll replace them with the extra 427 emblems I have had for awhile.

Guess again! Backdraft must use a special emblem that has 2 long threaded studs on them. My 427 emblems have short pins with push on fasteners. So, where do I get the proper ones? They are designed to hold the side vents in place as well. Any ideas? And if so, will the new ones get messed up too?

Anybody else have this problem? What causes it, heat or ????

I prefer "powered by Ford" because I don't have a 427 in my car. But, someone told me that the 427 emblem is more correct for the body style. Anybody want to trade for some very nice new 427 emblems?
