A little help with a 69 swb hood! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have an aftermarket cowl hood on my truck with an aftermarket grille. It is a real chore to get my fat fingers in there to pop the hood latch, but when I do manage to release the hood, I have to manually lift it up. If I remember correctly, my 72 blazer popped itself up enough once the hood release was lifted, so that I could easily raise the hood after that. I guess a long story short, am I missing a spring of some sort that helps the hood pop up?
