I do plan on attempting but I hold little hope in success. It was all original. I had everything off the truck, except the hood, last summer. It all went back into position so easy and perfect. Every bolt, and seam lined up perfectly. I fear that's never going to happen again. The truck was pretty original with very minor updates. Paints no so good but I feel like I dropped the Mona Lisa while dusting it.

Look closely at where the hood attaches to the hinges, the hood may have slipped back on the hinges. The hinges where they attach to the fender may have slipped a bit, there should be witness marks if either has slipped. The hinge springs are what hold the back of the hood down when the hood is closed. Can you open the hood? The hood pin and the latch that attaches to the core support are probably bent.
