What is the hood on this truck? Note the different curve near the cab that doesn't follow the line of the cowl. Is it off a big truck? Why would they go ahead and paint it when it doesn't fit?
Hy Jay Zed, yes I believe that is a large truck hood, if the hood comes to a point at the point of the cowl fender junction then it is a large truck hood, the hoods for the smaller trucks are rounded rather than pointed at that point, hope that helps.
Its a 54 bed, 54 front fender(s),47-53 grill,and cab with the side cowl vent. The hood is from a big bolt. By the way they taped off the front food emblem,, and mismashed all the parts together, thats one humdinger of a body/ paint shop.

I'd say the more apt saying is trying to put lipstick on a pig.
The correct procedure is fit first, paint later.
