My fiberglass hood - free with truck purchase
« on: March 18, 2009, 01:56:37 am »
So this is the hood that came with some other parts when I bought it last March.  I have the steel hood (not original) off to the side, with quite a bit of rust and body filler in it.  I'm kind of torn as to which one to run with, so I need y'alls help!

I remember those hoods in J.C. Crappney years ago. They are ugly as sin!

I would opt for an original. I just don't see it on your truck.

Maybe it would look better if it fit right and was painted but definitely get another hood.

Ha!  My wife hates it too!  I just showed her the current results of the poll, and she's like, "See?"  :D

I rather use a steel cowl hood  and put your original 1 away in case you ever want to sell the truck.That hood just doesnt look right at all.

thanks

Ya, get rid of that one. I love my Harwood fiberglass one. I wanted a 4" cowl scoop like I had on my 94. The steel ones I saw were only 2" and the underside looked like crap. I would go with either a steel original one, if you like the look, or a nice fiberglass one.
