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

Long n' Low GMC · 11-16-2009, 12:48 PM

Does anyone have pictures of a Cowl hood on a 64 or around tht year GMC? I found a site that sells them but no pictures. I'd like to see what it looks like before i buy.

The only cowl hoods I've seen for this body style are fiberglass and from what I hear are very poorly made.

Found this one.

Also, it may not matter to you, but keep in mind any aftermarket hoods will be the chevy style, not GMC.

Do a search, there are a few members that have bought these and regretted it.

for what they charge Ill make the cowl for you

Long n' Low GMC · 11-16-2009, 10:33 PM

I found a site www.up22.com that makes the chevy and GMC cowl hoods in a ,4",6",7", and 9" cowl.

Scott62,
Where did you get that hood?

Slow Build · 11-18-2009, 02:39 AM

It's a one piece flip up frontend.

No see if i tell you the the topic will start on how crappy they make their parts.... i bought it about 7 years ago and I think that it fits really good for being a big molded piece of fiberglass and did not have any problems with mine. PM sent

fryco · 11-18-2009, 03:23 PM

Well, considering there is only two places that make hoods or frontends...

Until somebody produces a aftermarket steel hood (hole new argument), we'll be fitting glass parts...

scotts62: I'm glad to here someone had good luck with their purchase...

1Bad62Pro/Street · 11-18-2009, 05:40 PM

I wasn't satisfied with my hood.
Already complained on a couple of Cowl threads on here with pictures.
Already said my peace....
I donna wanna get all fired up again so.... changing the channel.

70 Suburban · 11-18-2009, 06:29 PM

I dont see why not just make the cowl section.. raise the center then fab the sides

scotts62 · 11-18-2009, 06:40 PM

fryco · 11-18-2009, 11:41 PM
