Hood Hinge Replacement - Brothers vs. JEGS

[Spool]

Hey guys,
73 c20 here.

Hood hinges are shot and need replacing.
The passenger side currently gets caught on the side panel when closing
where I have to go pick up the back end of the hood and push the side panel in to close the hood completely.

I see JEGS has these with springs: $169.99 before shipping/tax.

And Brothers, you can assemble a small package with springs: $147.94 before shipping/tax.

I like Brothers a lot, and thinking I might go with them.
Wanted to check with you guys to see if anyone had any experience or thoughts on replacing hood hinges before I proceed.

Thanks guys.

Your Jegs link is not for 73-80 hinges. I've never had good luck with Brothers and will not use them again.

Who did you end up using and what do you have on your truck now?

I like Brother's videos very much - even though Dave is always gasping for air when he talks. 
But, I never purchased from them before.

Are there other good vendors?

I think you'll find most of the repro hinges are similar in quality. Here's a set on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/73-80-Chevy-GMC-C10-Truck-LH-RH-Hood-Hinge-Sping-Set-Suburban-Blazer-Jimmy/303664016389?hash=item46b3c92c05:g:so4AAOSwZTlfQ896

Why am I being censored from showing products from a specific company in this thread?
This is an open community forum, no? Is there a competition I'm unaware of?

Because this forum sells parts and that company is banned here.

I've been using this site for almost 5 years now and I was unaware that this company is banned here.

I'm aware that there is a wire-harness for sale here on this website, but other parts I have not seen.

Are there hood hinges available from this forum?

Spool,

Check the site store here first before referencing another source. The banned company is not a supporter of this site. http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/

Alright. Thanks, Vile.
I was unaware of the store URL: http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/

And this forum has been extremely useful to me in the previous years with tons of gentle, caring, and informative people who
take their time in helping others. Something I enjoy very much, including where one may find a product that best suits them.

Now, that I know this, I'll proceed differently moving forward.
And I apologize if I broke any forum rules of sharing other sources, but given this is America, and I was being censored in a free market- I was a bit taken a back to see that I was edited unknowingly.
I didn't know there was politics involved.

Thank you for taking the time to clarify and help me with the hood hinges.
The one's on eBay look great.
