The hood had a Cadillac Emblem on it which I have removed (look at the original pic). The hole looks like a production hole so I think it is supposed to have a hood emblem. What would be the best hood emblem or shave the emblems?
"So-called" D3TB-16850-N (there is no such number or hood ornament, it's a figment of a repro parts sellers imagination) is actually C2DZ-16178-A .. Front Fender Emblem for 1962/63 Falcon!
Pic: Scroll down to 16850.
Parts catalog doesn't say, but O-S-I (Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange) Catalog does:
D3AZ-16850-A & B were replaced by D7OZ-15850-A that you can see was replaced byD8BZ-16850-A
Edit:D8BZ-16850-A was replaced in 1982 with E2BZ-16850-A and in 1983 with E3TZ-16850-A
D5TZ-16850-A was replaced by D6TZ-16850-B that you can see was replaced by D8TZ-16850-A
Thank NunberDummy! D8BZ 16850A is not shown in the pics above. Where would I find one of those? I don’t understand the reference to the front fender emblem.

The so called D3TB-16850-N is not a hood ornament and never was. It's actually the front fender emblem for a 1962/63 Falcon.
An enterprising repro parts seller discovered it fits the contour of the 1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco hood. It's actually illegal to install it on a hood, because it's not "spring loaded."
What year truck do you want the D8BZ-16850-A hood ornament for?
The reason I ask is, this number was replaced in 1982 and again in 1983.
I edited post #33 to reflect this.
FoMoCo is infamous for replacing/updating part numbers almost as often as women change their minds!
IIRC the two top holes might match or at least get covered up by the new mirror assembly. only downside is the need to cut a new square hole in the door for the mirror brace to go through to the inside. Placement can be a little tricky as you can't hold the mirror up to the door until you cut the hole. Overall, it's pretty easy. I had the big trailer mirrors on mine so now there's still 5 ugly bolts in each door, you'd have to fill the bottom 2 of yours for sure. If you've built stuff for SEMA I'd say you definitely have the skills for it. I have a write-up in my profile of how I did mine. Another trick thing to do if you feel like cutting that truck up a little would be a power sliding moonroof...
LOL, this thread isn't even 24 hours old, and it already has 3 pages!
I'll bet it came with something like the D6TZ-16850-A, with the three lions or whatever they are, but you never know. Sounds like it didn't come with the C2DZ-16178-A, and if you see no evidence of there having been two holes, it probably didn't.
I probably wouldn't go farther than a SBF 5.0 EFI, but if you're not liking that upper intake, you could always fab up a new upper to get things where you want them. Otherwise, you can turn around the upper 180º, and have the TB on the driver side, like the Crown Vics were back in those days. Downside to that is the ugly EGR valve coming out of hiding...
An E4OD would be cool, and I'd probably just as soon leave the Dana in there. Is the lug pattern 5 on 5.5"?
I'd probably keep those Type-7 mirrors too. My truck has them as well. They look funny, because the mirror heads have been turned 90º, and the mounting clamps for the mirror heads have been moved up and over the top curve of the mounting bar.
I'd absolutely keep the 360º drip rail. I don't think stateside Dents ever had a gutter over the windshield. I wonder if you could get a bright cover molding to go all the way around.
And I don't think that that's the original paint, as I see over-spray on the Warranty plate.
I really wouldn't change much at all on it, since it's already something that most Norte-Americanos have never seen.

Ford should have built those in the states and called them the Bronco Excursion.
I have often wondered why we didn't get a Ford "Suburban" back then. Look at how popular the Chevrolet was. Was Ford simply being stubborn and refused to "copy" the competition?
