Looking for a cowl hood (steel) does anyone make such an animal? I have seen glass hoods but would rather have a steel hood. I can make one but would consider purchasing one.

Thanks

Hello, LMC has them. Good luck.

None that I am aware of. No production steel hoods at all for these trucks besides cutting and customizing an original.

Do it! That way it will actually fit.

I am building one, but it will not look like the one everyone else has.

Call Dan at Sick Industries in Vancouver,Wa. He makes an all steel hood and it rocks.

Is that his truck and hood in the photo?

If so that is exactly what I am looking for!

Does he modify a stock hood or mfg new ones?

Any contact info? I couldn't find anything on the web.

Yes it was his truck. He sold the truck to another guy here on the site. Its a modified stock hood. No glass.

Awesome that is exactly what I am looking for and He is close.
I could do it but it will save me time and thats big for me.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah Dan is the man when it comes to a steel cowl hood. I wish I would have just gotten one from him instead of U.S. Body's crap fiberglass job.
