This is what I will use on my 57 when it comes time. Steve
I have an original V8 57. I will try to remember to measure V location to confirm dimensions.
Edit: I measured from front of door to bottom center of V and from beltline to bottom center of V. I came up with 7 15/16" from front of door and 1" from body line.

58TRUK is a V8 truck, chevy may have phased it out for 58?
Ogre... No fender V in '58. Hood ornament should have a V.


For anyone else looking, 55 + 56 V's are on the fender. GM's Factory Assembly Manual has dimensions.

If you go to page 715 (it shows up as 4XX-25 in the PDF viewer I'm using) you'll see dimensions for the 55-56 side spear and V location for 1/2 ton trucks.

Page 727 (4XX-37) shows V location in larger trucks.
