Reverse opening hood

I am wanting to install a reverse opening hood on my truck. I can only find ones for every year but 1960-1966. What has everyone else used? Thanks.

Re: Reverse opening hood

Sure enough, i gots one too. they are cool but what would be different is to make some heavy duty hinges and actually make it tilt forward like the members yolo's hood, check out his avitar pic that will give you the idea.

Re: Reverse opening hood

There's also another board member that has a forward tilt hood......I just can't think of his user name.....he's from Australia or New Zealand.

I doubt you're going to find a 'kit' for your truck. You're just going to have to fabricate it.....or have someone do it for you.
