Ok, so my front hood emblem is right for '53 1/2ton (chevrolet w/ bowtie),
but on the sides of the hood there are 5 holes for the chevrolet emblem in a
line inside an indention, and two holes below it for the 3100. The correct
side ones are the larger 3100? My hood must've been from 49-52.
I think the larger 3100 is made to replace the large chevrolet on the side.
So then I'd just need to weld up the other two small holes (for small 3100)?
Are there any other differences I might notice with this hood? :)

Chevrolet "Thriftmaster" was on the side of hoods on 1947, 1948, and
early 1949. Late 49, 50, 51, & 52 just have "Chevrolet" and the model
number (3100-3600) below it. Starting in 1953 the "Chevrolet" was
removed and the model no. (3100, 3600) was a little larger than the
49-52 model no.

So why -as a '53 1/2 tone- does my hood say Thriftmaster with the small and
separate 3100 logo underneath? Donor? From what year?
