He told me that an older gent had showed him that the inner brace on the rear of the hood itself could be loosened up and adjusted as needed , anyone else heard of this trick? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 324 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 324 | This information is available in the factory shop service manual for the A D trucks. It's not a trick it works. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | hmm, will have to try it....thanks | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,904 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,904 | I finally used the "au contraire" method of adjusting the hood on my '48.
After several attempts of holding it down with a stack of firewood on it and tightening the bolts from inside the cab, I pressed the hood up against the hinges with a broom resting on the bumper. I then tightened the bolts on the inside. It worked pretty well.
