does anyone know if they have corrected the billet hood hinges for the 67-72 so that the hood will open all the way up

**leddzepp** · 10-30-2011, 06:51 PM

I assume you are referring to ones for 67-72 trucks? I am moving this to the discussion board, as the parts board is for selling.

I didn't take any pics yet but one thing for you guys to know, you can't run the billet hinges with the factory air or heater box!!!

Excellent point to raise..I don't know wether to be happy or sad they're no longer an option for me?

Mike Bradbury · 06-17-2012, 12:06 AM

I am not sure if the last question ever got answered. I have heard that some do interfere with the factory air, but I have no example of that, just what I heard.

You can just make your own out of your old hinges. It is not too difficult of a fabrication since the old hinge provides most of the geometry. If you have moderate fab tools you can make a set for around $100. Most of that is in the bearings and hardware.

As you can see mine open up several inches further than stock hinges.

No, I am not posting this because I am going into business making hinges, I made them for myself and have posted them so you guys can get an idea to fab your own from my design. I wanted a set but there was no way I could afford $600 bucks for a set.
