Redneck Cowl hood - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Americanrider · 01-27-2007, 03:38 AM

I found this on pirate 4x4..... I fear the prices of high humps will soon be going way up....

NOT!

Aarons72s · 01-27-2007, 03:40 AM

Cool. I agree redneck but hay if it works. I dont want to know where the louvers came from.

stllookn · 01-27-2007, 03:49 AM

Ben...that's just not right...LOL!

68GMC454 · 01-27-2007, 06:20 AM

and to think they messed up a good hood..i could live with the scoop,,but the vents got to go..

72armyswbtruck · 01-27-2007, 07:37 AM

Lolo:

70GMCer · 01-27-2007, 07:38 AM

I'm surprised they didn't put it on the other way and make it a good bird catcher....

**special-K** · 01-27-2007, 07:53 AM

I think that`s a Studebaker Champ.You can`t just go out a buy a cowl induction for those.But,still,no class.I mean,he could have at least found a tranny hump w/o the shifter hole.Must be a work in progress.He hasn`t "let" the louvers into the hood yet.Are this coming out with another Mad Max movie?
Here`s a better execution of custom sheetmetal work on one:

Hmmm...I guess it`s not a Champ,judging by the lip over the w/s.

pkj · 01-27-2007, 09:51 AM

that scoop seems to be a tru definition of rat rod. there is another definition for the louvers, better left un-said.

BLAZERMAN · 01-27-2007, 09:55 AM

Thats a JEEP pickup.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 01-27-2007, 11:38 AM

the scoops ok nedds some work still but i dont know about the vents i guess id have to see them in and also see this thing in person but i still dont know but i will give hime points for uniqueness

Sport/Truck · 01-27-2007, 12:01 PM

Those aren’t just louvers, it a high-tech car-BQ for the tailgate parties!

You got it..... he stuck a propane/dual fuel setup on it and needed 3 more inches to clear the hood.... so he went to his scrap pile and found something that worked. Look close and you can see it has a patch in the center. Must have come from a 4 sp. All he needs is a chunk of flat sheet and wire it up to a choke cable and it would be a Hand-operated cowl induction... here I am thinking red-neck again LOL.

Nice loovers, his wife will be pissed when she finds the broiler pans missing!

roj2323 · 01-27-2007, 03:43 PM

it's creative i'll give him that. looks like hell with the weird angle change on the back though. "yes i realise it's a high hump"

love the look of the truck special k posted. hopefully my chevy will look just as radical.

That's what I was going to say they looked like.

Good call Blazerman,Gladiator/J-model fo sho.

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-27-2007, 09:04 PM

Interesting

corn · 01-27-2007, 09:07 PM

I love this stuff!

65-72 chevytoys · 01-27-2007, 11:08 PM

IF he only knew what those louvers were off.

Psycho71 · 01-28-2007, 04:41 PM

The Louvers look like A/C return air grills. And I'll bet, if they are, there not really mounted. If you look at the far one, it looks like it's just laying on top of the hood. The angle of the close one hides the gap to the flange. That is butt ugly though, no matter what is really going on there.

*rage'nrat638* · 01-28-2007, 04:50 PM

looks like the vents are just sitting there..

one mans garbage is another mans treasure

muddpile · 02-01-2007, 02:16 AM

On another forum somewhere, I bet there's a "What do you guys think of my custom louvered cowl hood" thread.
