Does anyone make a aftermarket hood for the 1966 chevy trucks???? I'm sure they cost a lot...but where?

Linky ??

There was a post not long ago of a hood soon to be released. Can't seem to find it, may have been it the vendors section.

Hey Ol Skool, I was working in your town today and those hoods don't come with the front and rear inner brace, you have to use yours.

just kidding!

rvrfoot · 02-16-2017, 12:34 AM

Brothers is working on getting some.

**Captainfab** · 02-16-2017, 01:41 AM

I have yet to see a pic of the cowl hood. Has anyone seen a pic of one?

This is a 4" cowl, it's not too big. Visibility is fine.

Were did you get that cowl hood?

Sik5chevy · 02-20-2017, 10:56 PM

Lmc Advertised stock steel hood for $729.00. Just saw the add today. That should save me time. I have three that suck.

65ChevyUtah · 02-21-2017, 02:36 AM

I would love a honest review on these aftermarket hoods. My fear is they will be like all the other aftermarket panels. So far I've order after market fenders, bedsides and a tailgate. All of which have one flaw or another.

Sik5chevy · 02-21-2017, 01:12 PM

i won't be able to give one for a while, but I am saving my pennies. Hopefully it has extra braces in the weak points, so it won't bend or crease. Thats a huge hood and thin metal won't cut it without extra bracing

urmyboyblue · 02-28-2017, 02:52 PM

Bringing this back to the top. Has the hood come in yet? Been 2 weeks, so I have to ask.

ol_skool_chevy · 02-28-2017, 04:53 PM

Not yet.............I will post it when it comes

Hollow65 · 03-04-2017, 10:39 AM

I'm unable to post photos for some reason. It's about 1/2" narrow. 3/16-1/4" on either side of the hood to the cab. Like I said it's an old hood. Maybe the figment has improved over the years.

urmyboyblue · 04-30-2017, 04:07 PM

Bringing this back up again. Not clear by the conversation if you ever got your hood. Looks like two different conversations at once by the end. If you got it, how did it fit? Pictures?
