Is there a less expensive way to get my hood to close better? Already tried working on the original hinges and now I'm running aftermarket ones.

I order mine from Willie!
Powder coated and new rivets and they work great. These are not billet but they are very nice factory hinges that work.

Here is the thread about them.

Andy how long have you had them on your truck and do they work as good now as when you first installed them? I have checked with Willie about having mine done ( one loose rivet so hood doesn't close properly) and he seemed like a great guy and I thought his price was extremely reasonable.

Speaking of the billet hinges! I ran across these on facebook the other night. Contacted them and they are very nice looking hinges with free shipping! Great price too! HH-6772M $393.37

Wow! Those are actually affordable. I hate dropping $650.00 for hood hinges but I like things that have lasted the test of time. Eddie Motorsports and Ring Bros definitely work but are you just paying for the name?

Andy4639 · 11-26-2015, 12:57 AM

Pretty much I would think.
I looked these up on e bay and they are over $600.00! so at the Friday price I'm thinking real hard on them.
Have until Monday to buy them too!

Those are both good looking hinges, but has anyone ever had problems with those hydraulic struts? I myself do not like them, as in hatch and hood cylinders.
The old school the hinges wear out before the springs. Guess it's about looks though. Just sayin'
