This has probably been asked before...
What models or years did GM put hood ornaments on these trucks?

It seems random to me but I'm interested in hearing if there was a rhyme or reason to it, too :)

In the late 70's it was part of an exterior decor group, I believe. The trucks with the hood stripes.

We had an 81 or 82 c10 on the farm with a 6.2 in it and it had a hood ornament.

Every square I've ever owned had one. My 87 Burb is a Silverado and my 87 GMC longbed was a Sierra Classic. My 84 K5 was also a Silverado. I never noticed that some do not have them to be honest. Most people I've known have had later trucks though I didn't pay attention to the round eyes in my life, I was too young notice that stuff on my dad's K5 when I was a kid and the chick I briefly dated with the lifted K20, well let's just say I was focusing on other things when I was in her truck

All I know is my '77 is a Scottsdale and my '91 is an SLE and neither of them came with a hood ornament. I have tossed around putting one on the dually, though LOL

My '78 has YE9 & ZY4 (two-tone paint)... its never had one.
It's a conundrum.

Keith's post was specific to the '81 and up trucks.

I don't recall the '87 I took apart having one. It was a Silverado, and two tone.

They've always seemed random to me.

However lately I've been toying with the idea of getting some batwing trinket off an Oldsmobile or something and just slapping it on my hood, haha
