I am doing a frame off restore of a 1966 c-10 and I am to the point of having the body work done.
I was hoping to use the original hood but the shop doing the body work said it would be more cost effective to find a new hood or a used one in good condition.
I've been looking but have been unable to locate a hood in decent condition so I was wondering if anyone on here could help me out!
I am in the Minneapolis area and more than willing to drive to get it. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters | | Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 | Welcome to the garage. I recently had same experience. Used 3 hoods to make 1. Not easiest or cheapest method. But when you consider shipping costs it may work to rebuild. You might touch base with 456 trucks or rj who both have parts_for_sale threads. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters | | Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 | Also, you will have better traffic to post in parts wanted forum. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 2 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 2 | Thanks for the tips and help.

I had to replace one once, and found a clean hood on a school bus. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 17 | RJ truck parts has what you need! http://www.stovebolt.com/RJ/
