Re: Any Solutions to 55/56 Hood Oil Canning

If yours has that brace going through the middle of it, (I don't know those trucks well) then just try putting a piece of cardboard or something between the brace and the skin and see if that stops it. If it does then a piece of plastic or tar paper or something like they originally had may do it. I have had hoods do this where things have just over the years changed a little so the gap is increased just a hair, one 1/16" piece of rubber and it's gone.
