Re: Hood Adjustment question

Not sure if you're doing an S10 swap or not, but one of the big things on mine that I found was an issue was the rake of the cab. Either the hood will not drop enough in the front to close up that gap, or the rake of the cab is too far forward. Just a thought and something I worked in before I rewelded my cab mounts... check you body mounts in the front end of the cab, you may need to shim them about 1/4 - 3/8"... even if it's only on one side...

Cheers,
Ted.
