Is there a pin that slides in from the hood into what looks like a crome arch? Any help woold be appreciated. Mine hood fell off!!

These pins are part of the hinge and not a seperate piece. The pins fit into a small clip at the back and into a hole on the hood ornament at the front. It's fairly common for one or both of the pins to break off since they are just rolled sheetmetal. You may be able to repair it, or you may be able to find a good hinge and bolt or rivet it back on. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | The other problem you may have is the hood ornament itself - they are cast and the socket that holds the hood hinge rod sometimes breaks away. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 424 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2000 Posts: 424 | '46 GMC hood ornament should be chrome plated and made from stamped steel. Not sure if they were the same in Canada though? | | |
