I'm in the process of installing the three chrome strips on each side of the hood of my 46' Chevrolet pickup. Could someone help me with there placement? Should the ends all line up or were they offset at an angle because of the slight angle of the strip ends?
If you have a 46' also could you tell me where the middle one starts in relationship to the distance from the rivet
that holds the locking mechanism on the back. Thank you.

I was thinking that someone may have an unrestored vehicle that could help me out.

I did look at the photos and thanks for sending them. I think I am in the ballpark as far as positioning, but I can't see from the photos if the end of the strip is angled up or down.

I could tell by the clip stains on the back sides. Iam on the road and can,t give you a measurment. Who knows but I bet they were done by eye back then. These were work trucks.
