Please help ID this hood.
Ive had this hood for a while with hopes of someday getting a late 40's year truck.
I decided to sell it but a few people have mentioned that the hood is for a 38 truck? Or even a 38 Buik?
I've compared, and it doesnt match? Would really like to positivley id it so I could sell it to the right person.
Below are a few pictures of it.
Thanks in advnced for your help.

definitely not Buick, not from a car .... sides aren't tall enough for a 38, and early 30's anything had wider grills, not so pointy - the shape looks right for 40's GM, but Chevs and GMCs used long front to back slots, can't find that squarish style vent in any of my pics, but that seems the identifying feature ohwell

also, if you edit your post and remove the doubled http:// from the 1st 2 pic addresses others will find them easier wink

chevy truck around 1941-1946. Gmc had different bottom panels for those years, but the tops should be the same.

ahhh - thinkin of Tiny's car and lookin at the title of your pics [39chevhood] reminds me the car did have those square slots, hidden by long trim pieces - like this 39 - sides don't look the right shape, but might be some Chev car

I agree with bdsd: It looks like a 41-47 chevrolet truck hood. Not sure if it's for a big truck or 1/2 ton. You can identify it for yourself by gong to [font:Arial Black]pictures found in the gallery[/font]

I sent you a PM with another picture.

Post this in the parts for sale section.

Bill, Thanks for the tip on the htt thing. Gotta go back and change a few others.
Linkies r workie now.
I looked around a bit also, It aint no 38. Sides too tall.
I would like to post, but as you can see, Its getting a little difficult to ID it.
Maybe I'll leave it up to a buyer to figure it out. headscratch jk
