I wouldn't give $400 for a cowl hood but I would for one of these. I like that laid back front angle. It closely matches the windshield angle and gives the front end a lowered look all by itself. It just looks "right" on these trucks. However I have no welder and wouldn't want to mess up two good hoods trying to do this myself.
Really nice work Kevin.

Well, I found out that the inner structure on an aftermarket hood is entirely different from a stock hood. I need to find a cheap stock 69-72 hood to hack up...

smbrouss70 · 06-09-2007, 11:02 AM

Gringo, I've got one you can have, it's just a 3 hour drive down here. The only payment I need is a ride in that sweet Blazer.

I'll keep you in mind. I think I can get one a little closer. If you're ever up this way, give me a shout and you can come check it out. -Chris

Thanks for the link, may try it soon

doc70sub · 02-29-2008, 07:33 PM

Looks good.....now where can I buy one?

graverobberATL · 04-02-2008, 04:16 AM

I was looking at mine earlier today and there's about 1.5 to 2" at the back of the hood that could maybe be cut off but you'd have to redo the front hood bolts and redrill the back holes in the hinge. Would the front line up do you think? Anyone?

Yes I have been doing this stuff for along time but remember when I did my first mod it was my first mod. So even I started not knowing what the heck I was doing. Don't every be afraid to give somthing a try because their is nothing you can't do just alot you have not done yet!

No it would not because the front edge of a 67-68 sits lower than the front edge of the 69-72. So if you just slide it back the front would need to lift up so the entire thing would be WAY off.

O.K. Wishful thinking I guess. There's another guy on here who was asking for some ideas about stamping some steel parts for our trucks. I saw all kinds of suggestions but none about the 67 style hood for 69-72's. I guess it's too costly or either there's not enough demand for it.

white_paper_180 · 08-23-2008, 09:09 PM

you wanna sell that hood??? white_paper_180@hotmail.com

skchevota · 08-23-2008, 11:37 PM

How about a fiberglass aftermarket cowl hood, Could you just cut the front lip off and run it... Just a thought, I like the cowl hoods

Racinaround · 01-05-2010, 02:23 AM

I picked up a 67 hood tonight and I digging in starting tomarrow!
Wish me luck
I hope it as easy as he says!

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but man I love this, I have my grandpa's 70 that he bought new. I love the lower slope of the 67 & 68's. My buddy found me a 67 GMC hood $55, it's at his shop right now! was hoping for a direct swap, but this doesn't look too difficult! Hope to get started soon!

Having trouble linking image from Google drive, will post as soon as I get that figured out!

Street Smart · 04-12-2017, 10:55 AM

I own a 67 Sub and a 70 Panel I LOVE the 67-68 hood. There are several threads on how to splice the two together.

jjzepplin · 05-15-2018, 08:45 AM

Has anyone ever made a 67-68 hood out of the 69-72 style?
