It stays up about an inch. Is this an adjustment or worn hinges/latches? I think this is about the only part of the trucks body I don't get. The rest seems to be straight enough. What can the Bolters tell me? Thanks, as always. Photbucket

My only comment is to leave the springs off until after you get the hood sitting where you want it and then hook up the springs. I learned the hard way! | | |
