65 hood wont stay up - need shorter springs?

Just got my 1965 C10 back from paint and we find that the hood will not stay up. We used the original springs on the hinges and suspected they lost their tension, so I ordered a new set from LMC. The LMC springs are about 1/2" longer and, upon installation, these too will not hold the hood up.

Is there a source for 1) shorter hinge springs or 2) a company that can shorten these springs and bend them properly for installation?

Thanks
Mark
