N2TRUX thanks for the correction. They are 73-80 not 87. As far as the rest of you complaining about the cost, get over it. Billet wheels are expensive. Billet anything is expensive. CNC machines arent cheap and research and development isnt cheap either. If you want something bad enough you save up for it. Customizing trucks and cars is a hobbie. All hobbies cost money. That more money than brains comment can only be said by a jealous person that cant afford them...

Wow, I can't think of a time that I'd ever want these, but they sure are puurrrrrrdy!

I agree to a certain level on this comment but one thing would be said about customizing their trucks i think this would be one of those parts that you would by last. As for more money for brains i think this would go along with anybody that lives in middle class, we would all like to make more money. So may not neccessarily be jealously but more of whats the point in the these parts if im not going to show them most of the time and thats if the truck is a d/d or even a show truck. "Hey everybody stop looking at me customized bed and get over here and check out these bada** hinges i spent 700 for."
LOL You can also ask your self what is the first thing that some one looks at when they open the hood of a vehicle anyway.

But thats neither here nor there for my concerns. Yes i would like to have a pair but couldnt justify them until i was done with everything else on my truck.

I have to admit my reaction was of the knee jerk variety. Is there really a vehicle out there that wouldn't benefit from a billet ashtray, hand tooled pleather and genuine Fiberglas ram air hood? This is what makes America (and Manny, Moe & Jack) great.
We need to learn from my fellow Porschefiles who bristle at anything not made in Stuttgart being affixed to a P Car. (My 951's k&n cone filter puts me in outlaw territory...)
Rather than bash the folks with hospital grade Nitrogen in their low profile unidirectional tires, we need only to start referring to ourselves as purists. Just a matter of perspective. Now everybody hug.

Flippin sweet. I notice when vehicles have these right off the batt. Wish I could afford them but I got tons more to do before.

My left nut started hurting when it thought I was going to sell it to get a pair!

Or we have a different opinion of what looks good, and prefer not having polished/chromed stuff on the truck.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

I never thought I had much money or brains but I guess now I know which one I have more of.

They do sell them in gloss black, matte black, & black anodized if you want a set...

[85/Silverado]

No one is making them yet?

[andrewmp6]

Talk to http://www.eddiemotorsports.com/ and ask them if they are going to make them.

[85/Silverado]

Thanks I sent them a email. I'll see what they say.

What is it you're trying to accomplish? Looks, functionality, etc...?

[cadillac_al]

Bling baby! Show trucks need more bling everywhere.

I've seen this type of hinge for 55-59 trucks. Not sure if it is the same company or not but they look the same. The look was great but they don't open the hood as far as the stock hinge. Owner was pretty disappointed as far as the functionality of them.

[Skunksmash]

They need to get it down to about half price, and half that bulk. Just my .02

At that point I'd consider buying some eventually

Jack,



Thank you for your interest in our products. At this time we donot have any future plans to manufacture these hinges.
