I got a new hood... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yesterday I went out to a guys house (a retired junkyard owner who lives beside the junkyard still) and picked up this mint hood for $60. He's also checking into control arms and a door from his friend. He's definately a cool guy with a 57 chevy truck restored amongst other cars in his garage. Hopefully I can get some pics of those sometime. Anyways enjoy this for now, 1 step closer to paint.

Nice and straight. Your truck reminds me of mine before I got it painted. It was about seven diffrent colors.

Hey thanks for the replies guys! And yes it feels great to make progress the winters been a little slow for that. Also I believe my truck is 4 colours, 5 if you count rust :p
I have a question though looking at this picture reminded me, does anyone on here have a fix for the gas tank door falling off? I do in fact still have the door but it's hinges are twisted and the part on the box is broken, is there a stronger alternative anyones come up with? Thanks again!
