Hood ornament - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know what the first year a hood ornament (I assume that it was the square ornament that either spelled out CHEVROLET or had a bow tie) was available on 73-87 C/'s? My 76 has a hood that has an ornament base on it but I cannot find anything on hood ornaments on these trucks prior to the hood-design change in 1981. I am fairly certain the hood has been replaced, though no other sheet metal shows signs of paint or exchange. I assume the hinges were not lubriacted properly, or at all, and...........

That having been said, and I will post on the parts board, does anyone have a hood ornament originally intended for use with the 73-80 hood that they would like to sell?
