Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
I buy all my parts from the Truck shop in Orange and they have awesome prices, especially during their once a year 10% off everything sale. I have a cowl hood on my 67 Camaro and it helps give me room for my 396 but I don't like them on 67-72 trucks, makes the front end look too chunky and cluttered and just does seem to look right on a truck. Cowl induction is for a muscle car, not for a truck. To each his own, though.

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
Yeah, I am not a big fan on trucks either.
When is the 10% sale usually? Do they mail something out, or how do you find out?

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
OK since I started this thread, I need to VENT!!!
I'm looking for (what I call) the "Cowl" that goes on at the Bottom of the Front Windshield and between the Hood/Windshield!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All my life I've been calling it a "Cowl" but when I search the Part Vendors, I always get COWL HOODS, and can't find what I', looking for. Am I calling it by the right name or does NO ONE carry it...(unlikely). ;+( Roger RATIKLE"

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
I don't think it is being reproduced. Have to find it used. I call it the cowl panel.

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
Nope, I'm not. I have seen used ones with no antenna hole for the guys who don't want to run an external antenna. Might be nice for that smooth look. On my Camaro I welded shut the cowl vents and smoothed the whole thing. Looks sweet like that. I think I may have seen a smoothed fiberglass version of the 67-72 truck cowl panel on Ebay, not sure though.

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
A day with new parts being delivered is like Christmas day. I just love getting parts in the mail. I have parts all over my house and I love it.

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc
I had my body man shave my wiper cowl. And I have a LMC cowl hood. Fit pretty good with a little adjusting/grinding on my aftermarket chrome hinges.
Check out my build thread for pics. If you cowl is a little bent, might be a good one to shave completly.
