Re: tilt hood

i've been thinking about this for about 3 years, but i'm too disorganized to do it.

Re: tilt hood

there has been some threads about this before... someone made a fiberglass tilt nose for the trucks
the ones who did just a reverse tilt hood used the hinges and apparatus from the old buick park avenues (88 89 or thereabouts) to make it work on the trucks

Re: tilt hood

That is my next project for me so I will keep an eye on this thread. I did see another one on here but I could not find it but I hear the hinges from the older buicks work and that is my plan. I have some pms from the guy from the other post and If I can find the link to the thread I will post it but I don't remember seeing any full pics of the hood.

Re: tilt hood

Here is one that I found, it's not the same model truck but it has the buick parts on it. I think there are some more on here somewhere. It's snowing here so I have time to look em up for ya.

I didn't send pics of my 74 like I posted of my 97 in the other thread because I have none, I didn't own a camera or computer back when I did the mod on the 74....

PM's sent..... ;)

If you sent him the same info you sent me in the pm he should be good. At least he can see the parts needed and the process.

Re: tilt hood

These are instructions for a universal tilt hood kit... they were built using an 88-98 Chevy but it gives you an idea how it could be done.
