Re: how do i adjust my hood?

Some may disagree with my fix but---some will buy new hinges and new springs trying to fix the alignment. What tickles me is if the hood was fitting good before and it was removed ---if it had warn hinges or weak springs, why did they all of a sudden go bad when you try to reinstall the hood?
I have given this adjustment trick to dozens of guys and have personally done it to dozens of trucks--a little lube, tweeking the hinges by pushing the hood up a bit and bingo, all is well. Maybe we need a poll to see how many 67-72 trucks we can count with popped up rear hoods? I saw one yesterday. What we need is a % of popped hoods for trucks seen. hehehehe
