Hickey style hood?
I was looking in this craigslist ad and the hood looks a little weird. Was this a Hickey style hood? http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/pts/3910443622.html

Re: Hickey style hood?
Personally, I don't find it appealing. I don't think I've ever seen one..... Is it factory?

Vic Hickey was one of the leading designers/builders on the off road/Baja circuit.The hoods (which were also available for the 67-72 trucks) were designed to improve visibility.His company made a lot of off road accessories...including the sidewinder winch

Re: Hickey style hood?
I kinda like it, kinda gives it a look reminiscent of the old Scouts and Broncos, in my opinion. I'm not going to buy one, but I don't think I would toss it if I had it...

Re: Hickey style hood?
One of the fiberglass hood/fender companies still makes this hood for the 73-87s. (maybe only 73-80 or 81-87)
EDIT: http://www.hannemannfiberglass.com/c...457567&page=15 listed as drop center hood, 73-80.

Re: Hickey style hood?
I like them but I am into the old school stuff. Styles and preferences change. I can't imagine anyone missing the 90s neon colors and stripes but I am sure some people do! I grew up around squarebody trucks so the 70s stuff is my time period.
