Does anyone know of a source for the c shaped pieces of chrome that go on the front hood of a 1948 F-1. That would be the ones that go around the opening where you reach in to release the hood latch. Mine are not too bad but would like some better ones if I could find them. I have a lot of catalogs but none have them in there.

 

I was going to say LMC Truck should have them but I looked and didn't see them in there. They had the side piece's that go on the hood but no front. I have a couple more books that I will look in. I know I have seen them somewhere in a book though. I use to have a extra hood off a 48 but it is at my grandfather's house. They where good piece's as far as not bent but they would need to be cleaned up.

ive seen alot of them on ebay

 

The chrome horsehoes are not to hard to find. I see them on upay all the time. The part that I am looking for is the bar in the middle on the right side ( not the hood latch bar). It seems to be plated pot metal and all of the ones I have seen have bubbles in the chrome. I have 3 of them and they are all that way. The hood latch bars seem to be OK.
