Up for auction is a nicely restored hood latch valance for the 1948-1950 Ford trucks (F1-F8) It was sandblasted and painted with gloss black (acrylic enamel). There are some very light pits on the rear of the piece (look in picture) they look worse in the picture because of the reflection. The threads on the mushroom are in very nice condition. I have a lot of other truck parts (no fenders). If you have any questions, please ask, I will be happy to answer.
