Nice short wide, if your trying to be restrained, your on the wrong site...these guys build wild trucks... just kidding good luck with the truck, looks like a great starting point.

The hood is a 67, I believe grant customs built the truck. Used to be yellow and white. I haven't found a whole lot of info on it though, lots of fab work into that truck.

Pretty sure the hood is split. Check out this thread, he's doing the same modification. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=392728

Post 314 on the above mentioned thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...392728&page=13 shows how the "66 DiBella" truck is doing the mod.

While I can appreciate all the effort, man that is a ton of work, I guess I don't understand why? Body lines will look the same when done, right? Maybe if it was pie cut or did something to alter the body profile from stock. Don't get me wrong I am not knocking the modification, the amount of fabrication and quality of the work is stunning, I just don't get it. Somebody please enlighten me, what am I missing?

Also check out the front bumper on the black fleetside above... very cool.

This mod changes the look of the truck. Also it is very difficult due to the fact the the metal on the hood will warp if it is not braced correctly before the hood is cut. That truck was built by Bob Grant of Grant Kustoms in Oraville CA Go to his website and you can see the truck in the gallery and his project section. This is one of the nicest c10s out there and cost close 100000 to build. The truck has been painted twice. Here are some pictures of the hood modhttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...chevy031-1.jpg

my first guess would be to allow more room for running lower. appears to have raised the wheel wells.

[superflysteiny]

It does allow for more room but the truck looks different from the front when the hood is up.

here are a few..

I like how this mod suddenly connects the lineage to the '67/'68 hood. Never saw it before til I saw it on Superfly's post.

I don't know, I can appreciate the workmanship in that truck, but it looks like an el camino or ranchero style truck with all those chops. To each his own I guess.
