Re: After market hoods for 60's pick up

Brian,
Did you figure out how you're going to fasten the hood to the truck? I had a pin-on hood on mine about 3 years ago and ended up replacing it with a bolt-on hood. I used dzus fasteners to mount mine, and I used 11 of them total. 3 in the front attached to aluminum brackets that I fabbed up that mounted to the rad. spt. side panels and the hood striker brkt., 3 along each side with dzus brackets mounted to the top edges of the fenders, and 2 in the rear on each side of the cowl scoop. I looked for pics of how I had all of the brackets mounted, but don't have any. I'd be happy to answer any questions about this, if you have any.
Be sure to post pics when you get the hood and bumper mounted. Good luck with it!!
