starting 67 swb step side need hood advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am going to try and restore a 70c10 but going to use all 67 body parts. The 70 is fleet side and rusted pretty bad. I found a guy selling all body parts for a 67 step side, they are in better shape than the 70 so I will use them. The question is the 67 hood is rusted under the front on the inside, is there a patch panel for this? Or do I need to cut it out and make something?

Just find another 67 or 68 hood

That sounds good but almost impossible down here, if they are not in use, most have been crushed to build new fords. I will figure something out.

I have some good advise for you. Oh....that's "hood" advise you're asking for. It's rel hit or miss on finding a 67/68 hood w/o a rusted lip. There is no patch panel made,but they'll sell you a new hood
