Thanks to everyone for your comments.
I haven't had much luck so far finding the hood or a replacement yet.
I know that the driver had spent the night in the Syracuse NY area and had a drop in Bow NH prior to my stop. The carrier is based in Plymouth MA. (Still wont return my calls)
I want to thank the people at this site for at least caring a little.
I was shocked to google a 1940 chevy truck hood and find my post..
Great job getting it out there.
At any rate hood or not I really found a sweet old truck and am looking forward to getting it cleaned up. I'll keep everyone posted.
Thanks again
