Internet photos show Ram 50 trucks have emblems placed all sorts of different ways (did the Japanese not follow instructions..?) Full size Dodge Ram 150 pickup trucks of similar years pretty much all have the same emblem placement (Made-in-USA by Americanos)... My truck seems wrong on the Left side and 88powerram's truck seems same as a full size truck correct on both sides... But not until after it was painted, someone changed the Right side emblem placement on his truck... My truck emblem photos today: Thanks for pointing me in the Right direction MrPaco

Makes sense that there would be inconsistencies on the placement of these badges, after all they basically stickers that someone is applying by hand, so plenty of room for error.
My observation was based on what the '87 brochure shows, I assume that those are correct, but who knows. I think the confusion to the eye comes from the two elements of the group being reversed from one side to the other, meaning that on one side the square emblem is to the left of the RAM logo, and on the other is to the right of it.
The way I'm reading this is that the correct placement has to do with the square emblem being towards the front of the truck (at least on gen 2, gen 1 might be different) on both sides, which means that it's on opposite sides of the RAM logo, if that makes sense.

Here are two pics form the official brochure showing both sides that this, two different trucks, but you get the idea.
