I would imagine you guys in the Big Bolts forum saw this in November when it first appeared in the Gallery. Frank wanted a "link back" to the forums so that he could participate in the public chatter about the truck. He's already had some email exchanges and I think this "forum" works better. Here's the full story. Frank is good at detail. Another saved from the crusher. Peggy M

Looks identical to mine. Mine has the 270 6cyl. I had posted a question about the hoods on those trucks. I notice yours has a space ... like its not closed all the way. Mine is the same way. Is this a common problem or just a minor adjustment?

The hoods look like that whe they are not latched the whole way. Mine looked like that and I had to play around with the latches to get them working correctly. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 603 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 603 | Thanks for the info. When I get started on the body, I think I will remove the latches and try getting it to close correctly first.
I think mine only has one latch that actually "latches". Its on the drivers side. The other one just looks like a "guide" without a latching mechanism.
