I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have a 63 f100 and the hood ornament/decal is a gear with a lightning bolt through it. Is the original for the 292 or does that go with the straight 6 I know there is also the decal with the big v in it which one is correct for my truck or is either one original?

Hi Ray, you have the 223 six hood ornament. Have a great day! -Dave.

All the 63's had the lightning bolt. That emblem was used on 61 through 66 with the V8 emblem being used only in 65 and 66 for V8's.

Cool, I learned something. Just when I thought I had father Ford figured out..., it becomes obvious I don't. Sorry about misleading anyone. -Dave.

No worries Dave. Seems there wasn't any external badging on the trucks from 58 to 64 to show if it had a V8 or not.
I had a 63 F100 with a 292 that was all original and it had the same emblem mentioned and that's what got my attention to this thread.

Have a 63 f100 also, I too thought it was the wrong emblem (for the 6 cyl) but as others stated they went to one badge for all w/o V8.
You can get a V8 that will fit from LMC, won't be correct per se, but can advertise the v8
