Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/autol...?itemid=tilthd
Says it was designed using a 88-98 chevy but it could probably be made to work with some mods. $250 ain't bad either. |

We installed that very kit at the shop on a 95 a couple months back. Very universal but it worked pretty well !!

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
The 88 & up has an x shaped inner structure that the hinge frame attaches to. I dont know if the inner structures are close, but i will look at my 72 tomorrow and let you know. As for the quality i thought it was good. It took 2 of us about 2 hrs. to do the job.

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
this can also be done with buick lesabre hood hinges, if you want to go a much less expensive route

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
Yes I have seen that but I am not sure I want all that trouble of finding one in the yard where I live and he would probably want $100 for the parts. I might be better off going this route. I was wondering if anyone has used this.

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
I used a hinge off of a 88 buick park ave. It cost me 30.00 for the hinge, rollers, and bump stops at a local wrecking yard. Took a little mod but was put on in about 3 hours.

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
Do you have any good pics of the hood latch and hindjes and how you installed them. I have been wanting to do this for a while, but wasn't sure because my truck is painted already was welding is not an option...

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
Sorry I dont mean to steal the thread but how in the heck do you chisel the rollers off the the doner veh hood without bending the crap out of em, My yard has plenty of these but I havent bought the parts due to this.

Re: Autoloc Universal Forward Tilt Hood Kit?????
Don't let that slow you down. With scrap metal being priced as it is, the supply is just going to diminish. If you think you want that mechanism, you'd better go get it!
