Title: 1979 Chevy C10 hood latch frame
Post by: SigFTW on March 25, 2013, 10:46:40 am

Is this part available new from any supplier? Previous owner hacked it up and I have looked and have not found it anywhere, and I'm not sure about its correct part name either. Thanks for any help!

I have checked with all of my suppliers and companies I have done business with and I can't find that part.  It is the upper valence or grille support.  It is specific to the 73-80 trucks and you will need to source one from a donor.

OK, I'll start checking the junk yards. Thanks for the help!
