46forme - Your memory serves you much better than mine. Just after your posting I did a search for Dodge Truck Hood Prop and came up with
these on eBay. Not that I didn't trust my fellow 'Bolter's, I decided to "win" them prior to spilling the beans. Although they were a bit pricey (a reserve of $75 for the pair) I did get them about 1/2 hour ago. Most of the new hood props I did find were in the same price range.
The following description was in the eBay Listing:
This pair of hood prop rods is used on the T, V and W Series 2wd Dodge trucks from 1939 to 1947 on all the different models made, from the 1/2 ton TC pickup to the 3 ton WK-69, and all styles of Dodge truck for those years, Pickups, Panels, Stake trucks, etc (except for COE ). This was also used on all 1948 to 1950 Dodge B Series 2wd Dodge trucks from 1948 to 1950 on all the different models made, from the 1/2 ton B-1-B pickup to the 4 ton B-2-YA, and all styles of Dodge truck for those years, Pickups, Panels, Stake trucks, Cab and Chassis, etc (except for Power Wagons, and COE. I wonder if there is a market for them? I did many hours of research but could not locate a reproduction anywhere.
