Re: Forward tilt hood for 65 GMC
I believe member Joedoh has a forward tilt hood on his truck. There was one on Youtube at a show somewhere as well.
A quick search came up with these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gse2302Q48 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0od0jM4uZHM I haven't seen the first one before, but I have seen the second.

Check out http://www.forwardtilthoodkits.com/6...hood_kits.html
I talked to Kevin & he's going to make a lot for 60's c10s as you'll see you can access the front before it tilts forward |

Re: Forward tilt hood for 65 GMC
I have a forward tilting fiberglass hood on my 65. I fabbed my own set up. As for pro's- it actually gives you more access to the engine IMO since the engine sits so far back, other than that nothing really except it is different. Cons- I use a prop rod that is occasionally in my way. Would I do it again- probably.
Oh- one other positive is that the hood will not fly up if you leave it unlatched. ![]() |
