well i wouldn't think a scoop would look good on that body style but a cowl induction hood might look good if you could find one but anyways here is a good site that might have something you would like www.up22.com

Don't buy anything from UP22. Check the better business bureau. They have a complaint list as long as your arm. Their prices are cheap, but their products are horrible.

Just a hood scoop on an otherwise stock truck can look bad IMO.
It if compliments other mods they can look great.

Things like lower stance, pro street chassis, etc :D

Nice Cowl Hoods are a great mod to almost any RWD car or truck out there today :D

Almost anything short of a REAL big blower will fit under the hood of a 60-66. I fit a tunnel ram, carbs, two inch carb spacers, and 4" air cleaners inder the stock hood on my 66. I wanted it to stick out and finally just gave up and went back to a single quad (made more power with the single). A friend of mine has a big blower with dual quads and spacers on a big block in his 65 and the air scoop only stuck out 1/2".

What power adder are you using that gives that much height??
