47-55.1 Fitting Hood - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Driver_WT · 07-21-2019, 09:40 PM

We are fitting the hood on my 1953 Chevy 3100. The lower rear corners of the hood do not go back into the rear corners of the indentation on the cowl (the hood corner needs to go back another 3/4"). We have lowered the core support (1/2") and raised the cab (1/2") and it is still not back in the rear corners. Hood fits tight on the top of the cowl and the gap between the cowl and rear edge of the hood is about 1/8" to 3/16".

What are we doing wrong?

Thanks.
