Re: Hood pistons instead of hinges ?

You are still going to have to have some sort of hinge and creating one that will pull the hood both down and back might be a real challenge.

I had a pretty big and ugly brake booster on my 48 for a few years and didn't have any trouble with hood hinge clearance. I'd wonder if you have the setup mounted too far to the left and too high or ?

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
