Re: 67-68 cowl hood
You might be able to cut the cowl off your bad one and install it on a good stock hood.

Re: 67-68 cowl hood
I remember a thread that GMC PAUL stated he didn't sell them due to the poor fit. I imagine that he would be selling them if they fixed the problems. They probably are still a poor fit

Re: 67-68 cowl hood
Made my own from a wrecked cowl hood from a '90's truck.Grafted the cowl part to my stock hood . Don't like the way aftermarket parts fit.

Re: 67-68 cowl hood
My bad! I misunderstood you I thought you had a bent cowl hood already. I can personally testify that the 67-68 ones fit poorly. I traded the one a PO put on my Burban for a stock one. I was very up front about the fitment issues (he helped me take it off and I helped him bolt it on his truck).
