Hood hinge color?
Should the hood hinges be black or the color of the truck?

Re: Hood hinge color?
I've come to the conclusion, by looking at the below picture of that 80 original mile truck that was on eBay a few months ago, that they were "natural" from the factory. Mine have been painted cast blast gray and they look pretty good. I'm sure some factories painted them black, but I like the "natural" look myself.

Re: Hood hinge color?
They were probably were phosphate coated originally. A flat cast iron gray would be close.

Re: Hood hinge color?
Here's one that has been painted "natural" - probably cast blast.
