hcb3200, Thanks for the info and details. After reading your reply and seeing pics, I'm going to pull back on my suggestion on that spring. Looking closer at the picture I found, you can see that the hood shown is actually a GMC truck hood and not Chevy as the original poster had claimed. Perhaps it was correct for the GMC's??? Or, that spring could be something someone just added on too. headscratch
