4" Cowl Hood Makes?

Who out there has a pickup with a 4" cowl hood? I would like to purchase one, but i've talked to bodyshops and they say that the quality varies from make to make. just wondering what kind you have and how it actually fit and worked. Pics would be nice of the pickup its on. thanks

Re: 4" Cowl Hood Makes?

Well, I know you asked for a 4". But I wanted to share with you my hood any ways because it is labeled a 2" hood but about a third of the way back it hits about the 3" mark or almost four fingers tall. I thought I wanted a 2" but now I think my hood (being a bit taller than expected) is perfect. It is a goodmark steel hood and fit great.

I think these are the perfect height for these trucks or anything else for that matter. My Harwood hood is the same. Just the right touch IMO.
