Hood Ornaments?
Were these dealer installed?? Was it a factory option? I've seen these on several different trucks....last one I saw was on a 72 Cheyenne???

Re: Hood Ornaments?
Chevrolet used that or one very similar to that on monte carlos and are a very popular addition. They are factory, just not for our trucks.

Re: Hood Ornaments?
while I never seen documentation, there's been enough trucks pop up to assume that the hood ornaments were a dealer installed option.

Re: Hood Ornaments?
Gee...I have never seen a truck wth a "Hood Ornament". Like I said we are always learning something new about these trucks.

Re: Hood Ornaments?
There wasa guy in Danville Virginia that put them on every truck he restored and sold them as an accessory in his catalog. I have not seen him in several years, he always was at charlotte auto fair with a stack of those things. Not saying they all came from him but I am sure he help to make them more common at least in this part of the country.
