I've only seen them for the 55-57 trucks and I will tell you that they don't open the hood all the way when compared to the stock hinge.

Those are pretty but good grief, I'd never pay that much for hood hinges.

Re: Is anyone making a billet hinge for 60-66 trucks ?

they are direct replacement? thats a lotta ducks for hinges that still hit the tire on a lowered truck if so. on the other hand, they are stunning!
