Picture of your truck with COWL HOOD??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70blackfish · 06-30-2014, 01:27 PM

just wanted to see pictures of your truck with cowl hoods, and how was fitment, and any pictures of the underside???

thanks!!!!

**CUSTOM/10** · 06-30-2014, 01:50 PM

I had 2 areas with fitment issues that my body guy fixed.

1) The top body line where the hood meets the cowl, the hood was narrower than the cowl, so the top of the cowl was pie cut and re-welded to correct that.
2) The pass side front of the hood ( where it meets the grille ) was bowed in, so he used a slide hammer with a wide hook to pull the leading edge of the hood out to close up the gap.

It looked great after he was done with it !

I think about doing a cowl hood once in awhile myself. I think I really like the look. I'd like to see pics of others who have done this too.

here's mine it was quite a pain in the butt to get lined up but after that it's great, the under hood pic isn't all that great but it gives you an idea

Mine fit good, its about 4 years old. i have heard the newest 67 68 hoods don't fit well at all.

scotts72heavyhalf · 06-30-2014, 05:48 PM

I've got one on my 1969 Custom/10, fit great!

Mine had a issue with the stamping on the driver side like it had been stamped twice. Hammer and dolly time and it was fine.

srvivor71 · 07-01-2014, 04:22 PM

Geez, I REALLY like all of these. Next time I have some spare money, I think I'm going to have to do this!

Molberg · 07-02-2014, 10:57 AM

Chopped up a factory hood to make mine.... fits great.

70blackfish · 07-02-2014, 12:06 PM

Fits pretty good. I need to make a little adjustment on it, it doesn't want to pop up when you pull the release....

LockDoc

A GM starter solenoid return spring tacked on a washer behind your hood striker pin will pop it up a good inch or so... Did it to mine. Works great.

I did see the thread on that a while back. If I can't get it adjusted I might try it.

Thanks guys,
