47-55.1 Hood panel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know where I can get the panel for the front of the hood that holds the latch pin? I have looked at classic parts and Chevy's of the 40' s and not found I.

I don't believe that they are available as a repro. The best I can suggest is that you should look around for a damaged hood with a good one that you can buy for a few bucks.

I might have one but don't know what shape it is in because it is sitting back where the sprinklers on the wheel line hit and may be rusted now. I'd have to fight my way through the weeds to get to it.
