Layed out on 22's...hood hinges?!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So.....we're are currently layin out a 71 c10 on 22's, question is, i know you can't use factory hood hinges, so what are you guys using? building your own, or doesn someone make something just for this application? i've seen a few custom ones, but can't really find too much info......

The most common hinge I see used is these from Sachse Rod shop.

I used Sasches on mine and if you dont use gas shocks they suck. There real shakey.

Forward tilt here using the Buick hinges: (Not a 22", but a tall 20...)

I love this pic:

greasyk · 05-07-2008, 02:21 AM

wow.....thanks for all the info....keep it coming, i've bagged quite a few vehicles, but they've mostly been s10's, a few imports and later model fullsize's......i think she's coming along nicely!

XXL- How happy are you with your hood hinges after using them for a while? I am not sure I like my forward tilt after finishing it...

I saw a super clean truck at Goodguy's with the Sasche hinges that had some pretty severe stress cracks in the paint around them from the firewall flexing.

Yours look like they would be a little sturdier mounted on the cowl.

Thanks -Chris

Absolutely zero complaints after 3 years. Still like shiny new since I clearcoated them before installing.

is your hood a cowl hood? I have the same hinges with a cowl and the hood cowl is hitting the cowl panel below the windshield, any ideas?

Sorry for the confusion- XXL is running this style hinge:
