Going to start posting pictures soon. I got cab and frame apart today and headed to be dipped tomorrow.
Ready to start putting this thing back together.

The 47-53 truck ornament looks like this:

They bought them by the case and installed them as requested by the new owner or to doll them up for the lot. I did not see your picture, but I am guessing it is the same as THIS ONE | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 | My first AD a had car hood ornament that I really liked and was disappointed to find out that it didn't belong. If it wasn't ratted out, I would have kept it.

I don't have one at all on my 49. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 | Will the GMC jet plane ornament fit on a Chevrolet hood (AD series)? I know the hoods are different between GMC and Chevrolet but I would have guessed the hood profile would have been the same. However I noticed in the aftermarket parts catalogs that the hood center strips are different between the two. Perhaps is just becasue the leading edge is different??
