C90 Bill - Thank you for trying to clear this up.
My truck looks a little like the B-model cab, but it is not a tractor and has a dump bed installed over the truck frame. Although it is heavy duty, I can't imagine it pulling a semi-trailer. However, I did get the model number wrong. It is a 5500. And the hood latches I described previously are different than what is shown in the B-model picture.
I took the hood latches off today. They include a large rubber plug or grommet. This is what fails. But I am also missing two of the four handles, so need to find complete latches.
