Re: Billet hood hinges
Here are a couple of pictures of the shock. The hinges seem to be a very solid build, but I’ve only played with them not installed them.

Re: Billet hood hinges
I have the silver line series from all American billet, they are a little pricey but look and function flawlessly

I looked them up and they look like the LMC ones. I would bet that they are the same American Billet Hinges keep them coming this is good info.

Re: Billet hood hinges
I bought the entire silver line series for under the hood on my build, they make some pretty great stuff, I really like the fact that I can make all the components flow with each other I guess. THe hinges tying in with the serp system and reservoirs and what not looks super clean to me

Re: Billet hood hinges
Hey guys update for me. I ended up going with EMS hinges. Got a great deal on them from a forum sponser Matt’s classics. Since I am going with a dark blue I decided to go with bling and ordered the polished hinges.

Re: Billet hood hinges
I used Ring Brothers billet hood hinges on my '72 Chevelle wagon and they fit perfectly. So when it came time to upgrade my '68 C10, I again went with Ring Brothers. Yes, they're pricey, but I appreciate the quality. Haven't installed them yet, but I'll let you know in a couple weeks how they fit.
There's a good video on their website describing the difference between their product and the Chinese knock-offs. Gordon ABQ, NM |

Re: Billet hood hinges
I’ll throw them on tonight just to get an idea of fit & finish if I can get my buddy to swing by and give me a helping hand.

Re: Billet hood hinges

Re: Billet hood hinges
Those are imported. We tried them out some time back and they literally fell apart (Bearings).
We offer great prices on EMS and then you know you are getting a USA made hinge with USA bearings and they include stainless struts. Anyone in the market, PM me for a price and PLEASE include the year and desired finish. Thanks, MCB Parts
