I don't know, but if you use MBZ or Volvo hinges, you get the ability to lock the hood in the vertical position.
Just food for thought.

or couldnt you just put them on a track with a locking position?

What part of it? I see about 9 different things that are fabbed up.

9 ?!

I see 4, that's grouping the firewall smooth and under dash HVAC together.

Just put the stock hinges back where they belong and be done with it!;)

This is just a guess but the hinges look like 82-92 s-10 hinges. And the struts look like off of a third gen camaro or firebird rear hatch hinges. Which makes sense cause the hatches on those are bout twice as heavy as the 67-72 hoods and I installed a new set on a firebird that I had and it almost opened up by itself when I unlocked it.

Do you have anymore pics of the truck?

Re: Anyone know how this was done?
 
what i don't see in the pics is the safty hook at the rear of the hoodthat prevents the hood from being driven through the windshield and decapatating you in the event of a front end collision when those undersize fasteners give way

Here's a couple more. Just about every square inch of this truck had something done to it.

I have to agree with Long68 the hinges look like 82-92 s-10 hinges. And the struts look like off of a third gen camaro or firebird rear hatch hinges.

As far as my "9" mods performed comment, maybe it was a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. :cool:

they look like some kind of car trunk hinges or you could use a suicide door hinge kit. it looks like he added a spacing block on the hood so the hinges would meet. then you add the suport struts and your off to the truck show.

You realize that guy extended the truck. He lengthened the doors and the cab so he would fit in it better. That truck is insane.
