Cowl hood pics

[DUDLEY]

A friend gave me a cowl hood for my 68. Im not sure if I want to use it though. It may look a little goofy on my 3500. Any o
pinions? Anyone have pics?

[michael bustamante]

its gonna look real bad... you better just sell it to me
you have a picture of it? how high is the hump?

[DUDLEY]

I haven't seen it yet. Im a truck driver and won't be home for another week. He called and said he left it in the barn. I guess we'll find out
soon

[michael bustamante]

thats a good friend. keep us informed

[DUDLEY]

I'll put it on and post some pics. Maybe yall can give me some feedback

[mooseknuckles]

no need to put it on, I can already tell ya it won't look good..lol but that's just my opinion, it's your truck.

I think cowl hoods are nice only in so far as it matches the truck. Would be good to see it, i'm sure someone here might like it.

I still think even without seeing it it'll look better on mine.

When I bought my truck the previous owner had one for it, so I left it on. I could have went either way.

I think the 67 68 one flow better then the 69-72 versions. too blocky. hopefully its steel

Here is one on my 69 and it actually functions, lowered the intake air temp almost 20 degrees on a hot day.

HaysonJ, I see that you sealed your intake to the cowl, did you build a flapper door like the the 70 Chevelle had? I've had this planned for a few years, I just haven't go to that point in my project yet. I plan on using most of the chevelle componets to get a functioning flapper.

No I did not put a flapper in it, just sealed it to take advantage of the low pressure on the windshield and a cooler air temp

Ok, in your picture there looks to be vacuum hose attached to your hood. I thought maybe someone had beat me to the idea! Either way, nice job! You really don't see anyone using the cowl hood the way it was designed to use.
