I have those same style hinges on my 1949 Chevy Pu. They are stock from late 1947 until the early 55 model pickups.

I think they were on a 1948 chevy fleetline but I look at several youtubes of them and non had it.

But if that chevy pickup has them maybe it was. Sorry I did not pay close attention to the car make or year.

I will keep my eye's open we get lost of antique car shows here. Just have to come early when the trunk is up and they are still waxing the cars.
