The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1947 1 ton Hood emblem?

Hi, can anyone show me a picture of what the hood emblem on my 47 1tonner should look like? I"m looking for one if anyone knows where to find one.

Thanks

Kelly, Click into the Gallery, at the top of the page. Then click '47-55. You'll see plenty of examples, of what your hood ornament should look like. Nice look'in truck you have there.

Thanks. I love this old thing.

I've looked at many of the pics and I guess what I'm wondering is if any other emblems from different years fit the thing so I know what to look for. I'd really like to get the remaining missing parts for it so I can drive it in style. All I'm missing is the front emblem and the glove box & cover... and I think the battery cover.

It spent its entire life on a farm and I'm the 2nd owner of it I believe. She still runs and I take it around the block every weekend just to wake up the neighbors. (no exhaust, he he) Love the sound of the old 216. I guess I could fix the brakes soon though. (currently stopping it by pulling on the emergency lever and locking up the rear duals)

All I gotta do is fix the brakes, windshield wipers, rear brake lights and put an exhaust system on it... and it'll be legal! Then I can really make some noise and tow my classic boats with it.

p.s. Love the COE's. I've seen one around here just sitting there for the last 10 years.

Kelly, The hood emblems for '47-'53 Chevy trucks all look the same, & are interchangable from 1/2 ton thru 1 ton. There were 3 different versions though. The early version was made from die cast metal, the middle version was chrome plated steel, & the last version was stainless steel. Any of these will fit. Seems like I tried one from a 2 ton truck once, & it was alittle larger.
