VERY INTERESTED!!! I've actually got one of these, but the conversion was done before I acquired it, so I don't really have any details of the conversion process. But I'm interested in knowing the details of the hood. The 73-80 hood comes all the way back to the windsheild, the later years have a panel about 8 inches wide between the hood and windshield.

So what I've got is a short hood and a 8-inch gap between my hood and windshield. So I've got one of two choices, either fabricate a custom hood that has the front portion of the one style, and the rear portion of another, or find a way to mount that panel, probably welding some tabs to mount it to.

What I CAN offer is pictures of my truck and what has already been done. But I they're crappy, all the welds look terrible, it's not lined up very well, I don't know if they'll be of much use.

EDIT: Sure enough, after seeing those pictures, my front frame horns are cut. However, mine weren't cut at an angle like the pictures, mine are cut square, hacked off with just enough room to utilize the bolt hole on the top there.
