Emblems, Side Boomerangs

No one seems to have these in stock. Mid-Fifty has them listed as coming soon, but they don't have a date. Anyone know if anyone else may have them?

I have a set of originals from a 53 that I was planning to use for wall art. I'm sure some of the other vendors may have them.

Yes, MACs and CG have them listed, but of you try ordering them, they're not in stock.

This is entirely up to you of course, but the boomerangs were only on the Deluxe cabs in 54 and 53. It looks like your truck does not have the stainless window divider at the wing vent nor the stainless trim on the roof drip edge. The deluxe cab name was changed to Custom Cab in 1955.

There's 7 mounting holes (about 1/2" diameter) that will have to be drilled in each side of your hood if you want to put those on there.


btw, Nice truck!

Be sure and use tape to line them up. It's not so bad with what ya got here. my little Brother just did his 55 town sedan. what a mess it turned out to be. He really needed to use some tape all down the sides for sure.

I was just on the phone with Mid Fifty, they are expecting some to come in
around July or August. Seems everyone's out of them right now.
