![]() What I can tell you is this: The truck I finished fine-tuning the hinge design on will be going back together here shortly, and then I will finish the strut option for the hinges. Look for the possibility of some inner fender options as well. Nate

Re: Porterbuilt hood hinges?
Don't know how I would rate it as far as being "important".... but I personally wouldn't think twice about removing the door. It has the same function as a modern car's "vent air" vs. "re-circulated air". Without the door, you would always have fresh (outside) air flowing through the A/C system.

Re: Porterbuilt hood hinges?
Here's the special on the hood hinges we are running...
Porterbuilt Street Rods 67-72 Hood Hinge Relocation Kit End of the Year Special: $200 Shipped inside the Continental United States (all others $199 plus shipping) Porterbuilt Stree Rods has developed a clean, simple, effective, and AFFORDABLE hood hinge relocation system for the 67-72 C10, C20, and C30 series trucks. This hinge system is ideal for extremely lowered applications, where the factory hinges were no longer compatible. This hood hinge system utilizes a bolt-in, cowl-mounted hinge and pocket system. The hood mounting portion provides a weld-on mounting pad that is welded to the underhood’s support frame, and then bolt’s to the hinges pivot arm with adjustability for hood alignment. This is a clean and simple system that can be easily installed, and allows adequate hood to cowl panel clearances when opened. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Porterbuilt hood hinges?
Looking good Nate! I have a few questions... I noticed you used "part of a hood" for the hinge mock up; now once a complete hood is attached would the hinges still hold up and not be too flimsy? Also I noticed the hinges having hood forward and back adjustment, but how about up and down? Or did you design them for the hood and cowl to be even where you bolt them using your templates?

Re: Porterbuilt hood hinges?
