Does the 67 to 72 hood latch area have a spring to help pop the hood up like the 87 does?

Not on the latch itself. The spring is in the actual pin connected to the hood. Hope this helps.

Speaking of hood latches . . . .

Has anyone come up with a locking hood latch for the 67 - 72 trucks? You know - pull a handle under the dash to open the hood? I have a 67 Suburban that I would like to have a locking hood latch and I can't see any way to convert it so it can only be opened from under the dash.

I think I know what you mean, but do you have a picture of it? Thanks. And does LMC sell one?

I think there is a "HOW TO" in the FAQ Truck Tech forum.
