Forward Tilt Hood Kit

Has anyone used the Autoloc forward tilt hood kit on their square or have any pics of someone who has? It bolts to the 88-98 trucks, but is also listed as universal.

I'm sure this could be modified to fit, but how much is the question?

Yes, I have too. But they are a pain to get off the donor if you can find them and require making brackets, etc...

Re: Forward Tilt Hood Kit

There was an article in Classic Truck magazine several years ago, they used a modified BMW hood latching system on an older F-100 (sorry guys the f slipped out). If I recall it opend both ways front and back, pretty nice set up for modifying your hood. I wish I had the article but I threw several of my magazines away.
