My '51 1/2ton GMC panel has "GMC hydramatic" badges on the sides of the hood. as near as i can tell by id plate and looking at floor and steering column it never had an auto trans. Can any one help me figure out what emblems belong on this truck?

I know, right! The truck was supposedly restored about 20 years ago. It looks like it was kept as original as possible with parts available. Finding a few issues like this and more bondo than I would like.I would like to get the hood badges at least close to correct. The dual taillights I'm not sure about but I plan to leave them as well as add front park/turn signals.

just want to bump this post. Does any one know what would be "correct". "GMC", or "100". or something else?
