Hoods
« on: April 13, 2009, 07:31:43 PM »
I would like to start a thread on the different hoods 73-87 chevy trucks had and aftermarket hoods. Anything from fiberglass to stock. I know two 73-80 hoods were made and one 81-87 (91) factory hood but seeing that weirdo hood a few weeks ago made me think we need a thread on hoods. So I want to see your obscure or aftermarket hoods so please post pics even your home made jobs.

Here is my Goodmark steel cowl induction hood for 81-87 (91) trucks. It fits great.
My 88 blazer had a Harwood fibreglass cowl induction hood on it (way back before anyone made a steel one for them). It took alot of work to make it fit right.

I am installing a 4" fiberglass cowl scoop on my stock hood, I wanted the taller cowl, I could only find the steel hoods with 2" cowl. We just put the first layer of glass on it last night, I take pictures when finished.

Thats one thing that has bugged me. I have wanted a steel hood with a 3 inch cowl for years. I guess they cant build a 3 inch due to the stress on the metal making that amount of bend in the die??? I dont know if thats right, but its all I can figure.

I don't remember where these came from, but I've had these images saved for awhile. They are most certainly not my truck, but I've thought about it..if I had a mig welder and some sheetmetal skills. Also, I think the "Trail Cleanup Truck" had a taller cowl hood, but I don't recall if it was fiberglass or steel.

So whats the main difference between the 73-78 and 79-80?

From what I can see its just a minor lip on the very front of the hood?

I can't seem to link to a pic of this hood, so I'll try to upload it. I love the look and I would make it functional, sealing it to my air cleaner.

US Body Source also makes a 4" cowl hood for the person that was looking for one.
