The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun Hood Emblems for a 54 1 ton

I'm nearly complete with a restoration on my grandfathers and fathers 54 truck. The 3800 hood emblems are hard to come by. does anyone have any leads on where I may get a set? They are the larger version where the 3800 sits on top of a chrome strip about 8 inches long. I'm brand new to the stovebolt site. If you can offer any leads, please send me a note at [email protected] Thanks

Well, all I'm going to say is, "Good Luck."

I sold a 3800 last year that actually still had them, but that's far and few between.

Occassionally, you'll see them on EBay, but not often.

The problem is that there wasn't very many made to begin with. Then they went and changed it again in 55.

There are companies out there that can make them, but it's very expensive.

I don't have a picture of the 3800, but here's my 3600, if it helps

I'm learning that they are kind of rare and not easy to find. You mentioned companies that make them? Can you give me contact info for them. At this point in my whole project, "expensive"is a relative term! Your 3600 photo is the style I'm looking for and it looks like yours was/is the same green color as the one I have.

As you probably know, that style side-emblem was used in 1953 and 1954.

I had heard that previously. Any idea where I might find a set?

Look (set a Watch) on eBay, or post a Parts Wanted ad in the Swap Meet.

Be patient.

Hi HJH, You could try Steve Almeter at 1-585-314-7907. He found me a set of running boards for my 51 5 window 3804. I hope he can help. Good luck! Gerry Lee

Here's some companies that do emblems.

You could always contact a CNC shop that does aluminum work and see if they can help you out.

This is a tall order .. about 5 years ago I found a almost perfect SET on Ebay ... paid out the wazoo for them but knew they were very hard to find .I have not seen another set offered since then . I may have my old pitted set around here somewhere though
