Does anybody have a picture of theirs...I can't find any posts and/or pictures about how it installs/fits. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,

If you look close you can probably see where the old stuff was. Unless they have been filled and painted you should be able to see the little holes where the clips screw down to hold the lace on the cowling. It goes across the top and down the side of the cowling. Hope this helps. Let us know. Here it is also listed. Part# FP117 http://www.oldchevytrucks.biz/47_55/full.asp?page=47

I'll assume I can install it without removing the hood... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | yes you can....and should!! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 322 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 322 | How did you get the two out that are directly below the windshield wipers? I haven't replaced mine because of those. I could never get the right angle.
