Bill, thanks for the information about the hood emblem on my 6400. Here is a better picture. It has some bumps on the chrome but otherwise seems to be in good shape.

YUP Red, it's from a 55 oldsmobile for sure.

Here's a pic- 1955 Oldsmobile got it from this site- picture site

The reason I knew was that I once-upon-a-time owned one.

I think you guys are right. The hoods must have had about the same contour. It sure looks like it
fits! Here's another picture from another angle.
I still like it so I think I'll polish it up and keep it on the truck.

hope4u,

Obviously you have never heard of a 'Stovemobile'. They were only produced in Canada and Alabama for a few years, and are very rare... definitely Barrett-Jackson material.

You know, they actually did make Oldsmobolts off and on through GMCs history. Early on, most GMC trucks used Olds 6 cylinders, and some 2 ton and larger trucks used Olds V8s as an option. And if you look under the hoods of some early '80s Chevy and GMCs, some were equipped with the 307 V8.

I like it! Maybe I'll name her the 'Stovemobile'
or maybe 'Big Bertha Oldsmobolt'.

Ahhh come on...... I thought ALL Stovebolts were built with recycled Oldbolts...... that's correct oldbolts left over from other GM makes..... or bought back "pre-rusted" from various junk-yards... just to make it that much harder for us to dis-assemble for service....
sigh.....just some vacant ramblings on a Sunday eve........

Although we know what the speed of light is..... What I want to know is... How fast is the speed of DARK??
