New Hood installation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have not seen anyone post up an installation of the new hoods, so here is one. But first, a preface:

My truck is a 1965 C10 SWB stepside. I have owned it since 1984. The truck has lived a few lives while I have had it. One of the lives to note was as a bracket racer. During this time, I cut out part of the cab- the part that feeds air from the cowl down to the cab vents. These pieces also act as a mount for the two cowl pieces in front of the doors. Without these, I had to get creative to mount the cowl pieces, so the pictures will show this. The way I am mounting the cowl pieces may give more adjustment than your typical truck, I don't know. This will be important to realize as this thread goes on.
