hood emblem location

I want to add a hood ornament on my dually. Do the trucks that came with them have a flat spot on it for the ornament to rest on? Can someone give me a measurement from the front or back of the hood?

Mines an 84 and the emblem I bought doesnt look like it matches the contour of the hood

Re: hood emblem location
