Can you turn me on to any websites, (or maybe you could just tell me about) that talk about quick-release type fasteners for body panels. Not nessesarily dzus, but fasteners that will do the same thing;
i don't think i really want to do the tilt front end idea on this truck. Unless i can find a cheap, used front end from a medium duty. US body source has a tilt front end but it's $2000 not including shipping. What i'm trying to do is to be able to take the fenders off completely and quickly including the inner fenderwells. Looking at the service manual, i think it's just 6 bolts per side, this is with the innerfenderwells. i can support the hood with a rod and if i need more headroom clearance i can support it with moving straps. This way i'll have clear, easy access to the engine.
My truck is pretty nice, so psychologically i want to keep everything pretty much stock. If the truck was raggedy, then i wouldn't have any qualms about doing radical stuff to it.
Do you think pins and quick release clips might work?
