57 are like that. I'd trade you in a hot second if we weren't so far apart.

57 is a one year only hood with raised ridges. '55 - '56 are flat, '58 - '59 have the sunken center.

Stolen directly off the net this one even has the chrome ornaments that I think were a dealer installed item.

I looked though a batch of photo of 57 trucks and all but two had had the hoods changed to 55/56 hoods.

Re: What hood has two raised edges on the sides on top

I was leaving work, we have one of those guard gates with arm the goes up and down. The steel clip the holds the innards in the master cylinder broke, let the piston assembly come out too far where it hung up. brake pedal froze at the top. cruised right through at about 5MPH. broke it off and trashed the glass. Now I know how to change the windshield. Local glass warehouse had one in stock for $195.

I really want a 55-6 hood to go with my grill. having a hard time finding a cheap used 56-6 steering wheel to. 200 for a re-pop, ugh.
