Here's another hood spring tool. This one is for a mid-50's F-100. Similar hood spring to AD hoods. Click on "Instructions" to see how it works.

I have no idea if it will work.

I originally started the search for a hood spring tool for my buddy's '53 F-100 panel truck. He greased the spring after his restoration - now it won't stay up. I hoped that if he bought a tool, I could use it to remove my springs and blue them like D.G. told me a few months ago.
