cowl hoods
 

What are y'alls opinions on them, I'm going with the 89 burb core support and headlights can't decide if I wanna spend the money on a 2" cowl or spend the time and fix my stock hood. Input appreciated!!! Thanks, Aaron

im torn on that one ...some times i think i like them, sometimes i dont...i would not do more than the 2" for sure :metal:

Re: cowl hoods
 

Small cowl's like 2" or less look good, but 4" ones look stupid unless it's on a drag truck/car.

Re: cowl hoods
 

mine...

Same as the others, I like the look of the 2" cowl´s. And I want one for my truck, but I don´t think I will put one on unless I get a proper engine under it, the asthmatic 305 I have don´t deserve to live under anything more than the stock hood:lol:

Re: cowl hoods
 

I bought one for my truck. I forget which one it was manufacturer but it fit well and looks nice its a 2"

Re: cowl hoods
 

I dig the flat hoods on the round light trucks and the 2" cowls on the later trucks. I have one on my '87. From classic industries. I'm really happy with the fit. Heck even installed t by myself!

I'm not into mods but I do like the look of the small cowl hoods on the '81 & newer model trucks. Here's my '86 C10 with 2" cowl. It does really make the truck look nice.

Re: cowl hoods
 

hey guys thanks for all the help, i would not go more than the 2'' if i did it, just wanted to get an idea of the strength and fit from someone with experience in these. Thanks again Aaron

Re: cowl hoods
 

I have a 2" on mine, and I love it. It's a Goodmark steel hood, and it fit flawlessly. I haven't had a single problem with mine. I recommend it to anyone.

There's a similar one on my buddy's '96. His looks tiny and his is up 6" on 35's :lol:

Re: cowl hoods
 

here ya go! http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm

I have a 2" cowl goodmark steel also and its just as good as my original hood fit perfect

I agree 2" no more

Re: cowl hoods
 

im puttin a 4" on mine BUT its also gonna be a street/strip truck with a monster 496 stroker under that cowl hood.

Re: cowl hoods
 

4x4/work/stock truck no cowl. bagged 2" cowl. drag 4". my $.02

Re: cowl hoods
 

I'd rather have a ram air hood myself. In fact I'm going to be building one this summer using the remains of an old 72 Olds 442 hoodand a stock steel hood for my burb.

Re: cowl hoods
 

I disagree, 2" cowls look sweet on 4x4's :metal:

Re: cowl hoods
 

I guess that's why we all don't drive white ford rangers my friend. To each his own.

Re: cowl hoods
 

;)Hey... Don´t pick on the white Rangers! Had one last winter and it served well. Never had to care about washing or caring for it. Got me to work every morning and home in the evening and it was a diesel. Bought it for 200 bucks and when spring came I drove it straight to the scrapper turned off the ignition and collected 150$ on my way out. Can´t ask much more of an old beater

Re: cowl hoods
 

hahaha! So... Yer one of those Ford guys huh?

Re: cowl hoods
 

But.. but.. I like my white ranger!

As long as it's American, that's all that matters.

Re: cowl hoods
 

Like I said, to each his own. Hell, here in Southern California you see grown men driving Toyota Prius cars. This country is a democracy for now and if you insist on putting a 4" tall cowl on your cattle herding truck the cowl induction hood police will not stop you.:dohh:

Re: cowl hoods
 

i cnt wait till i find one close so i dont pay shipping:(

Re: cowl hoods
 

I like my 2" split cowl, I think cowl hoods generally look good on our trucks...but not all of them, I mean some squares just look better without...

Re: cowl hoods
 

I have really been considering getting one also but then I think of other things I can buy for the truck with that money.There is a couple in my area for sale for 400
