Billet Hood Hinges
Kinda expensive, but I haven't seen any others for our trucks. Thought someone might be interested...

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
I agree. I understand quality parts aren't cheap, and I will definitely be putting these on my "Need" list. The stock hinges always seemed kinda flimsy. I wonder if they can be bought anodized?

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
Wow those are nice! But I think I have a few other parts to buy before I worry about those.

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
Nice! The price seems pretty reasonable for what they are. Fesslerbuilt makes some and i think they are a couple hundred more

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
Very nice indeed, and I mean that, but when you consider that a pair of GM hinges will set you back maybe $150/$160 and we know how long they last. I think you can safely say that the majority of the asking price on these is for looks alone, lets say $100 more or less in materials, Gas dampers probably adapted from something else & some machine shop time, well all this does not a pair of $600 Hood hinges make. To much is made of "Billet" the name has become a smoke screen for overpriced parts, they must be aimed at the C10 owner with the Ferrari as his daily. JMHO!
This turned into a bit of a rant....Sorry!

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
old thread...
went to order these today, and EMS said they will not fit with a heater blower motor....bummed They said they bought a truck to modify their design to clear the blower motor, but won't be ready till November. I think they could have saved their money and had anyone on the board help them out!

Re: Billet Hood Hinges
Bringing this back up... did they ever get them to clear the blower motor?
What are the other USA made options? |
