Siscos hood hinges

I'm looking for these hinges for my 80 c10. I do not have facebook but best I can tell looking in from the outside he went out of business. Anyone have any confirmation of this or where I might be able to get a pair of his hinges? I'm going to PM Mike Losh because I know he's used them in the past.

Re: Siscos hood hinges

if those dont pan out. I think they are called WAMS. they are a large gas strut that goes from front fender to hood. Hold the top of hood open even with the top of the cab.Just use the cowl part of your hinge to hold hood. I bought a pair, just haven't installed yet.

73-80 trucks don't have a cowl mounted hinge.
(Fender mount only)
Only the 81-87 truck have the cowl mounted hood hinge.
