Pics Request For Cowl Hoods - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*low&slow* · 03-03-2013, 02:08 AM

Getting ready to buy a induction scoop to put on my hood. Not sure what height I want it to be.

If anyone has a cowl induction hood between 2 inches tall and 6 inches tall or taller, please post your pictures and please state how tall it is.

Thanks all.

PS: The truck I am building is going to be Pro-Street/Drag Race. The body is going to be built to have a very aggressive pro-street look to it. The chassis, suspension, and powertrain/engine is going to be built for racing.

This is going to be a custom one off build. When I start ordering parts and actually building the truck, I will comment on this thread to let you all know when I will start a build thread.

Anyways, pictures of your cowl hoods would be great. Thanks again and good day to all.

Member hillijob did a cowl hood from a standard hood a while back, if you want some ideas. It turned out nice!

Here are come pics of when we pulled it off the trailer after paint last fall. Paint is HOK Lilac Pearl over black and the cowl is done with HOK marblizer over black. Cowl is a 2".

With the shape of the dash these trucks will support a 4" cowl with out sacrificing the view.

Here is a steel goodmark, fits great.

That's a sweet truck. If you don't mind me asking, What are the specs on that chop?

And thanks all for the pictures. All of your trucks look great. Seems like a lot of people go with a 2 inch more than any other sizes available. I've decided that a 2" isn't the look I'm going for. So I will be getting one a bit taller OR I may just make my own.

Rastis · 03-04-2013, 07:58 AM

We did a 4" chop and 4" channel. I can get more detailed pictures if you're interested. Some of the other details are a fuel injected 283, T5 5 speed, trussed ford 9 inch. The step side bed should be going on in a couple of weeks.

I'm defiantly interested in more detailed pictures. I plan on doing a chop in the near future as well and trying to figure out how much I want to cut out.

Also for everyone else, if you have pictures of any cowl hoods on these years of trucks with taller than a 2 inch cowl, please post some pictures.

Thanks and good day to all.

My wifes 72 has a Harwood fiberglass hood I think it is a 6" cowl but I could be wrong

50mercfan · 03-05-2013, 02:56 PM

i looked at everything you could buy, i didn't like any of them. so, i made this one. i put the factory ridge down the middle and onto the front of then hood like factory. i added 70 chevelle cowl induction emblems to the side. what i tried to do is make it so that it would looks like chevrolet did it.

*low&slow* · 03-09-2013, 07:52 PM

xman - Can you some how confirm that is a 6 inch cowl? It looks more like a 2-2 1/2 inch. Good looking truck though.

50mercfan - That's a great looking cowl you got. Do you have any pics of how you made it?
