Re: help need to lock hood
hood hinge pins with small padlocks or you could weld a chain inside to the hood and to the core support and lock it that way

Re: help need to lock hood
I've seen chains used on some older vehicles. Dad had one on his 68 elcamino when I was a kid for the same reason, battery stolen....

Re: help need to lock hood
is the stock set up(abouts 79 era) not secure enough? also, contact SillyOldMan he has some kind of really cool set up for his truck.

Re: help need to lock hood
Is it possible to take a hood latch from an 80's square body with the inside hood release and put it in a 70's model and function properly?
