Hood Scoop on 67-72 C10? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

WH0DAMAN · 12-12-2013, 08:39 PM

Does anybody have any photos of a 67-72 C10 with a hood scoop? I see lots of cowl induction hoods but not one hood scoop. I'm not talking about a huge snorkel but rather a subtle, low profile hood scoop. I am contemplating fabbing one for my 70 Burban just to make it different.

I haven't seen a whole lot. I might have some pics saved of some. I'll check and see..........Nope don't have any since I lost all my stuff on my computer

I'll try to find some and post them.

I think you don't see them because of the big flat top ridge that runs down the middle if the hood. Not saying it couldn't look good,but it will affect the appearance of the opening. It seems most vehicles with hood scoops are flat across the center...I could be wrong.

What about a Pontiac Super Duty scoop?

These were originally off a Ford Medium Duty truck but the Pontiac racers missappropriated them for use on Tempests and Catalinas.

It would be (somewhat) period correct -

I like this one. Looks like the one on the Bumble bee Dodge Ram trucks.

I had this planned years ago on a previous build, fell through though...

I used to have one on from a late 80's S10 Blazer. I think it was stock on some certain model. Looked pretty good and sort of matched the shape of the overalll hood. (pic #1)

I changed over to 69 Chevelle SS scoops that I welded into the hood. (pic#2 & #3)

Those would've looked cool. Look like W-30 scoops. I never thought of that one. May have been less work than cutting my cowl in. I always liked the formula firebird scoops too from '70-'71.
