      It's an original Dodge hood ornament from that era, although not original for my truck, It fits the truck & it really looks like it is.

              You may have helped me out...

              the fresh air duct into the heater, is that plastic drain hose?
              Just starting back to work on my '57. Inspiration is a good thing.
              Thanks,

                I'm glad to be of help , mine came on the truck but I'm sure you could use drain hose as long as it was the right size . I'm looking forward to seeing your 57

                  Where do I get them rebuilt? I also have one similar on my 55?

                    I get mine rebuilt at Brake Materials and Parts Inc in Ft Wayne IN 260 426 3331 just ship it to them and you'll get a shiny rebuilt booster back. Tell Scott the owner I sent you Ron Reichhart. It runs about $250 for the job

                            If that winch and pto is compatible with my 66 and still available I might be interested. Torn between retrofitting one or going with a modern electric. Maybe Ron or someone else knowledgable can chime in on that.

                                Your truck is looking real good. Any chance you might be attending the Rally in Iowa this June? I'd love to see it in person.
