hood ordiment?????

hello everyone, i have a question for the elders. i thought the 48-50 f-1s did not have a hood ordiment, but lately i have been seeing a lot of them for sale that have then and they all look the same. it does not look like the one that came on the cars so where can i find one? and ideas? i a street rodding a 50 f-1 and thought it would look very well on my truck. thank you stoebob

Cool

48-50 F1's did not come from the factory with a hood ornament. These could be passenger car ornaments.

All of the hood ornaments on trucks were from Ford cars of the same era. The hood contours were the same so the fit was natural.

Just look for hood ornaments from a 49/50 Ford shoebox.

All of the above is correct. There is no listing in the Ford parts and accessories books. These were mostly off the 49-50 Ford cars as the curve is nearly identical to the truck hood.

Well, I always thought a VW Bug was about enough of a hood ornmament for any Ford truck. Like to see them sticking out of a grill!
