I'd have to think that there a hood with some dents/damage with a good undamaged rust free brace within an hours drive of you.

There are a lot of guys in your area on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/47.54ADTechSwap/

In the Missouri /Kansas area that sell parts that probably have one. Some of them are on the get rich quick off the truck rubes plan so you have to watch but you should be able to find one for under 25 bucks that has what you need. I've got one here but shipping would cost more than you can buy a hood for there. Plus that is probably a nice hood that all you have to do is sand down and get ready to paint.
