My '90 GMC Jimmy had a hood ornament.
LMC Truck might be able to help you out on finding a specific one...

The reason the 1980 with the square headlights is so find to hard is because they only came with the Silverado package that year. All other models retained the round headlight and bezel from '79.

The Bonanza is the trim level. In 1980 Silverado was the top of the line, Cheyenne, then Bonanza. Did I miss one? When did the Scottsdale begin?

Scottsdale began in '75. It was still there, along with Custom Deluxe. I think the Bonanza and Cheyenne were marketing packages. Scottsdale got you a color coordinated rubber mat, instead of the black one in the Customer Deluxe. I think the upholstery was upgraded a bit, and there was different trim on the door panels among other things.

ithe bonanza is a mraketing tool used to get the most selecte4d options on a truck in the off months ie the winter to get sales up i thought it was applied to the chyenne level not the silvarodo

Not exactly correct; you could opt up to the square headlights/chrome grille from the Scottsdale package, via RPO V22...

...which is what I did in 1980, on my step side.

Whats the significance of the the hood ornament? I guess what I should say is did it only come on certain trim levels/years or was it simply an option?
