I"m ready to reinstall the hood on a 53 half ton, and I don't have much in the way of help. I"m just curious if any of you have tried blocking up the rear of the hood on the cowl, while proping up the front, to insert attach the hinge arms to the hood, using the shoulder bolts. This may be a dumb idea, but it's all I could think of. It seems to me that reinstalling the hood would ideally take 3 people, but I rarely have more than 2 total. So, if any of you have tried this, or something else, I'd be very interested in hearing about it. thanks !!!
