Does anyone know who makes a patch panel for the front of a 1976 c10 hood? I know I've seen one but can't remember where.

I do not believe anyone makes one nor a reproduction hood either. All of the ones I have seen are 78-80 hoods. How bad is it?

Hi Kcwis:
Classic Ind makes a patch panel for a 73-80 C series truck. This is the only one I have seen advertised on the web on the first page of Google...there may be more that do not advertise as well.
The problem with the Classic patch panel is that it may be for a 77-80 truck which is slightly different cosmetically on the front edge...it also may be thinner gauge steel than the original hood. If these things are important to you, call and ask the guys at Classic for photos and measurements on their patch panel.
Good luck,
Henry
