Hood Rattles (it's pissing me off)

[Slambone]

Hey there, My hood seems to rattle loudly when i go over bumps in the road. Does anyone else experience this? I think I know where it's coming from but wanted to ask you guys how you fixed it. Here is a pic of where I've traced the noise from. Thanks in advance for the help

The 67-72's used anti-rattle foam/rubber between the frame and outer hood skin, not sure if the earlier years used that????

I can't find any for an earlier truck. I'm almost thinking of filling it with that expando foam.

that expanding foam just sucks water into it

Thanks Ron. Didn't think about that.

Yes, the 60-66 hoods originally had that anti-rattle foam/rubber cushion between the frame & skin as well.

Here's a link to some --> http://www.classicparts.com/1960-66-...ctinfo/38-355/

And a diagram from the assembly manual showing where all the pieces were originally located:

Most often its the two long ones in the center of the hood.

I put new pads in those two. It's in the lower ones
