I finally found and bought a suburban (1950), which I’ve been looking for, and had it delivered Saturday afternoon. Saturday morning I got the call from the driver, I found with Uship, informing me the loose hood had become unstrapped and fallen off somewhere east of the Pennsylvania border. He did backtrack a few miles but didn’t have any idea when it fell off and wasn’t able to find it.

I wanted to check with some of the local members for suggestion on where I might be able to find a replacement hood in the MD, VA DC area. Any suggestions would be helpful,
Thanks.

Welcome to the gang, and we all can't wait to see some photos of your new project.

Is your suburban a chevy or GMC? That will help us find a hood for you.

I know of a couple trucks local here mostly chevy that will have the hood you are looking for. I am about 4 hours south of NVA.
