Re: tilt hood
i've been thinking about this for about 3 years, but i'm too disorganized to do it.

Re: tilt hood
there has been some threads about this before... someone made a fiberglass tilt nose for the trucks
the ones who did just a reverse tilt hood used the hinges and apparatus from the old buick park avenues (88 89 or thereabouts) to make it work on the trucks

Re: tilt hood
That is my next project for me so I will keep an eye on this thread. I did see another one on here but I could not find it but I hear the hinges from the older buicks work and that is my plan. I have some pms from the guy from the other post and If I can find the link to the thread I will post it but I don't remember seeing any full pics of the hood.

Re: tilt hood

Re: tilt hood
These are instructions for a universal tilt hood kit... they were built using an 88-98 Chevy but it gives you an idea how it could be done.
PDF Instructions Here! Here is a 53-56 Ford Tilt Hood Instructions
