Hard to tell if it's the paint or the actual shape, but is that a Hickey hood? Either way looks killer.

Sorta- drop hood from Hanneman fiberglass in Azusa Ca
Very pleased with the outcome.
Pinstriping Dan painted and striped it.

Original owner bought new in June 83, installed a tube grill when I bought the truck and switched in the billet grill roughly 20 yrs ago.

You just answered a question that I had when I was typing my original response. I couldn't remember what the type of grill was called that I had...a tube grill. Thank you for that and well done on keeping your truck so nice for so long.
