My butterfly hood on my 46 half ton is tweaked. the nose on the drivers side simply won’t sit down right. Thinking of making the good one solid piece. I’ve seen some that open from the back (nose dips down). Also ones that open from side (coffin style). Any good aftermarket kits or brackets? suggestions how to do this? Thanks 🙏

You have posted this in two Forums - that becomes awkward for members to follow the replies in the two threads.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

We have used the side lift kit from Hagan on several "Butterfly" hoods. I like the one with a independent prop rod over the one the rod slides into position as the hood is raised.
