60-61 Hood repair
Just picked up a 61 short fleetside with custom trim. Has the big ugly (love it) hood and I need to do some repairs on it. Mainly the back sections where the hinges attach. Has a lot of rot there. I can manage the sheet metal repair there but I'm curious as to if the inner support in that area is the same on 63-66 hoods? Would like to find a donor section for that vs trying to fab it from scratch.

Re: 60-61 Hood repair
Might be better to fab if you can?

Re: 60-61 Hood repair
As far as I know that structure should be the same '60-'66 or at least close enough to donate a repair section.

Re: 60-61 Hood repair
The rear sections of the 60-61 hoods are the same as the 62-66 hoods, I'm doing the same repair on my 60. I got a section from another member, the outer skin and part of the brace, makes it easy to fix.
