Re: help need to lock hood
hood hinge pins with small padlocks or you could weld a chain inside to the hood and to the core support and lock it that way

Re: help need to lock hood
I've seen chains used on some older vehicles. Dad had one on his 68 elcamino when I was a kid for the same reason, battery stolen....

Re: help need to lock hood

Re: help need to lock hood
Is it possible to take a hood latch from an 80's square body with the inside hood release and put it in a 70's model and function properly?
