Re: What do you guys think?

depends on want your going for. All org or custom? Do you do know body work? If you can do body work i would say fix it (from the pics it doesnt look to bad to fix). Money wise its will be cheaper (if you dont know how to do body work) just to order a new one.

Re: What do you guys think?

I do not know how to do much body work. the pics dont show the exstent of the damage. but every time i see it after it rains it looks 100 times worse. i am going for a mostly stock truck. will body filler hold on the hood well? and money is also hard to com by. where would i find the best hood for the money if i go with a repo?

Good used hoods are not that hard to come by around here. You might try posting on craiglist that you want a hood. A 69-72 Chevy/GMC hood will fit.
