suicide 63 · 11-03-2008, 09:34 PM

Well guys I'm stuck on what style hood to get.
What do you guys think?
I am favoring #1.

jrsmith_2010 · 11-03-2008, 09:44 PM

imo, pic 2 looks the best. not to off the wall, but far from stock

joe231 · 11-03-2008, 10:29 PM

although i saw number 3 on an older s-10 today and it would be my second choice

Conundrum · 11-03-2008, 10:32 PM

Just put in my vote for #2

bigblock73 · 11-03-2008, 10:38 PM

Whaaat, no selection for a stock hood? That would get my vote.

IMO, cowl hoods are outdated...but that is just my opinion.

1984 swb chevy · 11-03-2008, 10:38 PM

I would say #2 or stay with the stock one.

DubDubU · 11-03-2008, 10:50 PM

what bb73 said.

Rollinsqrbdy · 11-03-2008, 11:24 PM

IM WITH #1. ITS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS. NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PEEPS HAVE ONE. DIFFERENT IS GOOD.

baggedcten · 11-04-2008, 12:21 AM

I think number 2 i dont know maybe because i have one

merca · 11-04-2008, 07:29 AM

i agree with # 2 check out advantagefiberglass.net. thats where i got my hood. a little different than all the others

jchav62 · 11-04-2008, 02:43 PM

2....

75sierraclassic · 11-04-2008, 04:01 PM

I agree with bigblock. IMO the stock hoods look the best. The only time I like cowl hoods is when you actually need the hood clearance for the monster underneath.

d10s69c10 · 11-04-2008, 04:08 PM

not 1.

I agree. But if you must do it, definitly NOT # 1.

**Ironhorse** · 11-04-2008, 05:16 PM

Guess I'm showing my "old school" tendencies again but I am not much into cowl hoods on trucks. I like a nice, clean factory body and paint. Cowl hoods do look good on A body Chevelles, (guess since I have a '71 SS) and
the 1st Gen. Camaros but other than that unless it is stock I think for the most part they detract from the look of a clean truck. Not my truck just my
.02 worth. Again, as in most cases, your truck, your decision, build it as YOU like it.

ChaseDale3and8 · 11-04-2008, 06:37 PM

#2 Got my vote. I just didn't care much for the #1 even though not a lot of people have that one. ...Joe

OJOE · 11-04-2008, 07:30 PM

me say 2

74 shortbed 406 · 11-04-2008, 07:40 PM

stock is one
#2 is second best
#3 is next
#1 shouldn't be allowed on trucks.

87 STEPPER · 11-04-2008, 09:26 PM

Theres a 73-87 stepper that runs around here with a #1 hood on it and im gonna tell ya you had better really really like it cuz when it's on the truck it is a hugh eye sore JMO!

I'm gonna go with #2 cuz i have one like that.

As for a stock hood! If the truck isnt stock as a rock then the hood shouldn't be either! again JMO.

But what ever you get, get it in steel mine is glass and i hate it!!!!!!

There might be a reason not many people have that hood.

Gotta go with Jeff on this one, I am about "cowl hooded" out.

75silverstep · 11-05-2008, 02:41 AM

I was wanting to put one on a few years ago im glad i kept it stock..

Richard D · 11-05-2008, 09:06 AM

On another note, my buddy had a fiberglass hood, it was real wavy. Steel may be better.

harnalien · 11-06-2008, 01:16 PM

I agree with some others that stock is best, but I choose 2.

suicide 63 · 11-06-2008, 07:21 PM

Well guys the poll has won me over
I will be getting the #2 style hood.
I am surprized me and Rollinsqrbdy were the only two that liked 1,but i have never seen one on a truck so I will stay with the majority.
