Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Got the hood ornament mounted on the truck. Will get pics up later, my phones not wanting to cooperate with me this a.m. Installed it now so I can see if I like it, I have a nice donar hood to put on the 63 and I figured it'd save me drilling holes in a solid hood if I end up not liking it on there.

One note on the hood ornament. I used 1/4" stainless studs & nuts instead of the factory bolts. It made install easier, especially on the front stud under the nose of the jet that sits in the space over the latch which is very tight. This way I don't have to mess w/the threads anymore and risk damage.
