49 F1 hood ornament

[Catbob]

Has any one heard of or seen a hood ornament on a 49 F1 pick up. My hood has holes for one but not sure if it was a lost add on or original ? Thanks for any input ........ Bob

No such animal. Most people took the ornament from a 49-51 Ford car because the curvature is identical to the truck. It's a perfect match.

Any one have a photo of that? I'd like to see it.

It may also have been a JCWhitney "jester" ornament...

They're fairly rare. One year only, '49. :>) slim

Here's a picture of the 1948 Ford passenger car hood ornament that a previous owner attached to the hood on my '50 F1. The ornament follows the curve of the hood perfectly.

LOL that's awesome!!!
I've seen lots of the hoods drilled
before also,I know that's not factory though.

These 1947 and 1948 Ford hood ornaments are available from many early ford parts suppliers. Here's a closeup. Of course, it works best if your truck is blue!

It is a toss up between the 47/48 ornament and the pig. Mac truck bull dog is nice.
