Well finally got the Harwood hood painted and installed. Hood is a 3" and fit was alot better fit and less work to get painted than 2 different previous fiberglass hoods I've had. Underside is finished as well.

Harwood stuff is awesome, and yours looks GREAT! I had one on my '92 C1500 xcab and the fit and finish of their products is top notch.

That looks good man . They built the original mold of that hood from one of my high school buddies , dads truck . They test fitted it on mine and actually gave me one . Mine fit on all four corners but had a really big gap along the fenders so I traded it to a guy to fix my old hood . Anyhow it looks real good on your truck .

Any idea on weight savings for this piece vs a stock steel hood?

Hood looks great, I just wish they sold a 4"+ version. Did you have to work it over much prior to paint?

So sad for me they only make it for the 69 up.

Thanks guys . Looking forward to Car show in Galveston in a couple of weeks and then back to the track to see how it runs since I made a few changes to motor and had freshened up. Also went from a NOS pro fogger to a new 2 stage Pro flow nitrous system and new Dana60 with more gear since last trip to the track.Hope to go some low 9's this year.

Bosshog: Hood weighs 40# compared to the 68# Goodmark 2" cowl. Talked to Harwood and they said they will put Truck on their Website when I send them a picture

Turp: Hood fits real good along fenders and cowl. Front to grill looks ok but
fit is more due to grill fitting issue to passenger side aftermarket fender.

Well took Truck to the first car show in about 5 years and got 2nd in Modified class. Now just a couple of finishing details to take to track and see how it runs.
Need opinions on how truck sits now. I think it has to much of a rake and front needs to come up some.Will be ordering new front springs and not sure if I should raise front or not. Whats your opinions?

My opinion is that your truck is bada$$!

If it were me, I would lower the back a touch before I raised the front, but depending on your rear suspension setup, that might be out of the question.

Drop the rear 1 in. I love when those fat tires are tucked. I have a rake about the same as yours. Ill be dropping the rear and i cant roll a tennis ball under the front.

Kris 15 x 5 w/28 x 4.5 and 15 x 14 w/31 x 14 .
Rear is about as low as I can go and this is with a c notch. So I am looking at raising the front some to take some of the rake out. Current front springs are a 1" drop and are 12" long. I have'nt found a spring less than 16" for racing so it will raise the front.Hopefully not to much that I have to raise the rear to level back off.
