Re: the hood
it wouldnt take as much to modify them as it would to completely make your own stuff.

Re: the hood
thats about as simple as it gets, its just a H made from pipe and a pivot point on the rad and at just the right point under the hood. i cant see any thing stoping the hood from over pivoting or falling right back onto the grill or motor. if you select a pic it will show you a closer look at it. his truck is very nice and the particular way he did that is pretty booty fab. i hope he does something better.

Re: the hood
Is there a kit you can buy to get the hood to open backwards? Not a universal kit one made for 67-72 trucks.
