Re: Hickie hoods
Hey Eric, I will try and get some pics snapped of my "Hickey" style hood by this weekend. I am getting ready to spray paint on it. Trevor

Re: Hickie hoods

Re: Hickie hoods
As I remember this came from Special-K... Not the best looking, but Vic Hickey sold these to give better visibility cresting hills or so the ads went. Just a thought but maybe a CL ad in Ventura CA might shake something loose. They were made there and who knows what might be hiding in someone's garage.

Re: Hickie hoods
FWIW, I remember seeing quite a few of those in the '73-'80 trucks, but very few on the older ones.

Re: Hickie hoods
Here is one I spotted a couple years ago in Sioux Falls, SD at a Menards. I left a note and he called me back! Story goes a local dealer saw these hoods at the SEMA show and ordered one, installed on this truck as a dealer option. I wanted it BAD for the rarity. Good guy that owned it- think he lurks here on the board now and then.

Re: Hickie hoods
I'm betting Vic Hickey did not distribute the 67-72 style hood..my guess is they were made by another company and hickey bought the rights to them around the change in body style and the decision was made to only carry the 73 up style hood. From everthing I can find the 73 style is the only one Hickey ever sold..and I dont find any pics of him using this hood on any of his pre 73 race trucks.

Re: Hickie hoods
That might be the chain of events. There was/is a lot of fiberglass "cottage industry" out here. Still think that a WTB ad on CL in the Ventura area might shake a hood or info loose. If you are really lucky maybe even the molds.
