Re: billet hood hinges C10
Is there a less expensive way to get my hood to close better? Already tried working on the original hinges and now I'm running aftermarket ones.

I order mine from Willie!
Powder coated and new rivets and they work great. These are not billet but they are very nice factory hinges that work. http://www.hoodhingerepair.com/ Here is the thread about them. ![]() ![]()

They are about 4 years old now and work fine. I spray them with lube every now and then!
One day maybe I will brake down and buy the billets! ![]()

After reading this I decided to look for the billet hinges again. So what I found was some very high dollar stuff like I did last time I looked @ several $600.00 hinges then I came across these. Has anybody used a set of these yet?
These are listed on EBay. Crown Suspension Chevy GMC C10 K10 1967-72 Billet Hood Hinge Hinges Kit Machined E Bay # 172002256007 US $489.95 buy now: ![]() ![]()

Re: billet hood hinges C10
Thanks Andy. Those Billet Hinges look like the ones Eddie MotorSports sells and Summit has them.

Re: billet hood hinges C10
I'm running Ring Bros. air frame hinges on my '69. They are really nice and the hood closes very smooth. They weren't 'cheap', but for the quality & looks, I guess you could say there were reasonably priced.

Re: billet hood hinges C10
Those are both good looking hinges, but has anyone ever had problems with those hydraulic struts? I myself do not like them, as in hatch and hood cylinders.
The old school the hinges wear out before the springs. Guess it's about looks though. Just sayin'

Pretty much I would think.
I looked these up on e bay and they are over $600.00! so at the Friday price I'm thinking real hard on them. Have until Monday to buy them too! http://www.ebay.com/itm/67-72-Chevy-...5RhDh4&vxp=mtr
