Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
usbody has them also for 60-61 and 62-66, but they are pinned only, made mostly for race applications. Not sure if they can be modified to accept hinges.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
The hoods at Unlimited look prety good, and are about the same as what I gave for a steel cowl hood for my '70 C-30.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
Heres a 63 with a home-made job. Looks like a custom 61 grill too.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
Here are a few pics of trucks with the cowl injection style hood. I have no info, just pics. Maybe someone else might know brands and such.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
check with 1bad62prostreet...hes one of only two people I know with cowl hoods. He might lend some direction on this. My other buddy Jason had a body shop do his.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
i bought one from us body source and unlimited,us body source was not useable and they were total jerks about it,took forever to get,out about $550 and a trip to pick it up.unlimited was about $600,was able to use but required a lot of work.you would think for the money the prep work would be minimal.I cannot recommend either one.if you have questions pm me.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
I think since I prefer the GMC style hood, that I will make my own. I have a decent GMC hood that has a bad center section anyway.
Thanks to everyone for the insight on whats available. |

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
i plan on making one myself or having my cousin do it for me! But i plan on buying an steel cowl section and cutting the sides and graphing it to my hood! i want to keep th "V" in the hood!! then i'll take a section from my other hood to extend the back of the scoop a couple inches, since they dont make steel hoods for the 60-66 trucks! i got a few pictures of a forum members truck

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
I've got one on mine. I like them low enough so that they look like they could be stock. Not a fan of the big jutting monstrosities.

Re: cowl hood for 60s c10
The C-10's do look sharp with a cowl on it. Fits the original lines and the curve of the front of the hood.
