I just purchased an original set of 1937 Ford Pickup (Deluxe) s/s Hood Side Louver Trim! I have been looking for several YEARS and just run across this pair in decent condition. If anyone knows someone who restores trim and especially any info. regarding the retainers (where I might be able to purchase some or have them made), I would greatly appreciate it!!! Now I'm just lacking one thing - another reading/map light!!! Respond to westbrook4133@knology.net or site. James A. Westbrook This message was edited by jameson5938 on 7-8-11 @ 5:05 AM

I would call Roy Nacewicz on the trim clips. To straighten the stainless I would call around to chrome shops. Many times chrome shops also straighten stainless. You might also check Hemmings in the services section.

I assume you are talking about the stamped/pressed V8 badges that fit to the two holes drilled on each side of the hood. They belong on all '37 trucks. Congratulations on finding a pair! They had a bad habit of falling off and are hard to find. The badges are attached to the hood with two studs soldered to the inside/back of each badge. These are threaded and take a small nut with lockwasher on the inside of the hood. You can probably see where they were soldered on the back side of the badges. There are two types - the early version was just soldered on and fell off easily. A later version used a rudimentary clamp that kept the stud from falling off the badge. I have the studs you want - left over from a '37 truck project that I no longer have - so I don't need the parts. If they are what you want I'll send them to you for $5.00 to pay for a USPS Priority Mail envelope. Let me know. nmacintyre@roadrunner.com. Norm

I appreciate the great offer, but no - I am talking about the stainless steel trim pieces that went on the hood side louvers. It is approx. 1/4" wide and had little clips that I assume went through the hood louver and had some kind of retainer on the end of it! Mac's make some, but not the original type. I will check out the other suggestion. Thanks!!! James James A. Westbrook

Haven't had time to check out the retainers much, but did fine someone locally to restore the s/s hood side louver trim pieces at $12 per lineal foot! Sounds most reasonable to me!!! If anyone needs trim restored, I would highly recommend this man!!! James A. Westbrook
