The hood on my 64 C10 does not land onto the cowl correctly, the right side is worse than the left. When the hood is closed the right side is over a half inch above the cowl, the hood can be pushed down, however, when the hood is opened, when it is closed it returns above the cowl.
The hinges appear to be in good shape, not broken/bent and the pivot pins appear to be good. I have noted that the rear mounting bolt has a slotted hole in the hinge in an upward direction. Loosing the bolt to rotate the hinge only appears to move the hood away from the cowl.
I have been told by a couple of people that the springs are weak, needing replacement.
Any thoughts. Wm.
