    Had these old wings kickin around for a while and just had to. I was always the kind of guy to remove hood ornaments usually, but in going with the service truck of the 50s thing I went and done it. Had a little flat head made out of pot metal too, off of an old trophy, so I mated the two and here's the end result..

    Shiny, It is for this truck. I still have the 48 ends on that sucker, but I do have a 51 nose that I need to put together. I still need a 51 Mercury front of the hood emblem and a Mercury tailgate. I already have the M-1 side spears,glovebox tag and other small pieces. Wait till the weather warms up again in a few months, then the chop and some other mods will happen...

    K-member, I didn't know that was your truck. I saw it at Monroe this fall. We all had a good laugh at the company name on the side.
