I need the front hood emblem for a '57 F100. I can find them for the '56 and '61's but not the '57's. Are these out there? I've seen a couple on e-bay go for over $200.

Thanks,
Josh

 

Those are kind of far apart if you know what I mean. The same one was used on the '58. Here an old thread where someone was looking for one years ago. center hood emblem for 57 ford - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Hit the junk yards and keep your fingers crossed.

 

Wouldn't you know it, there is a badly pitted one on Ebay right now. Vintage 1957 58 Ford V 8 Truck Chrome Hood Ornament Lightning Emblem | eBay

 

Be aware that FoMoCo replaced the original 1957/58 emblem: B7C-16637-A with the 1960 F100/1100 emblem: C0TB-16607-B that's 7" wide. There's another 1960 F100/600 emblem: C0TB-16607-A that's 6 3/8" wide.

Link in post 2 lists C0TB-16607-B emblem = WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has ONE = 606-787-5293. This is it, no one else has any.

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has the original B7C-16637-A emblem.

 

If you still haven't found one there is one on ebay right now. 1957 1958 Ford Truck Pickup Hood Emblem F100 F 100 F250 F 250 F350 Panel 57 58 | eBay. Me and my dad went to a yard last night and found one that we might have bought but have to let it warm up before we go back.

 

I'm told this one is for `53-`56 F100 thru 900. It's 4½" wide, 3-3/4" between the mounting studs - so I guess I'm in the wrong forum
