Billet hood hinges

does anyone know if they have corrected the billet hood hinges for the 67-72 so that the hood will open all the way up

Re: Billet hood hinges

I assume you are referring to ones for 67-72 trucks? I am moving this to the discussion board, as the parts board is for selling.

Re: Billet hood hinges

I didn't take any pics yet but one thing for you guys to know, you can't run the billet hinges with the factory air or heater box!!!

Re: Billet hood hinges

Excellent point to raise..I don't know wether to be happy or sad they're no longer an option for me?

Re: Billet hood hinges

I am not sure if the last question ever got answered. I have heard that some do interfere with the factory air, but I have no example of that, just what I heard.

You can just make your own out of your old hinges. It is not too difficult of a fabrication since the old hinge provides most of the geometry. If you have moderate fab tools you can make a set for around $100. Most of that is in the bearings and hardware.

As you can see mine open up several inches further than stock hinges.

No, I am not posting this because I am going into business making hinges, I made them for myself and have posted them so you guys can get an idea to fab your own from my design. I wanted a set but there was no way I could afford $600 bucks for a set.
