Re: live Mecum auction trucks

Not all the factory hoods buckled if the hidges were lubed properly . My burban never buckled . People dont remember that LOF was lube oil and filter you were suppose to lube all the hinges locks ect when you changed the oil . We used to lube everything at the Shell Station I worked at in high school . Even sprayed the bushings with Ru-Glide I still do

The hoods on many cars did this too . Take the Chevelles early 66 like mine had 5 cutouts they changed it ear,y in production to 3 to stiffen the hood . Myoriginal isnt kinked in the middle like alot of them 67 they changed the hood completely.
