Jon: They worked fine.
It sure looks long from the drivers seat.
2 hoods, 2 sets of hinges.

It's been asked how this truck handles and turns. The wheelbase on this truck is 159" and the '97 crew-cab dually is 168". The turning radias is shorter than the chevy. "Balaur" has power steering and brakes, so I think the long hood is what makes it look clumsy.

A little more fitting and "dirty brown" paint, and I'll probably quit on the outside. Lots of wiring, etc. left yet.
