my question would be WHY do you have to remove the hood hinge to replace the heater core...Joe
Hey Joe- good to hear from ya...
reason is ya cannot get to one of the bolts in the back with the hinge in place...matter of fact it is the same on that truck I saw in your garage...which was an early 70's truck...right?....course yours might have A/C..mine does not...but there is one more bolt ...wayyy over under and behind the hinge....
