Hey Al ! I've looked at this truck many times, and you just keep finding ways to improve an already outstanding truck ! Very cool.

I took another couple of pictures trying to get a clearer picture even though it is super cloudy and the lighting is not good at all. The picts I posted before were at night and they dont look good at all.

Al, the hinges look killer!!! Really finishes the engine bay nicely! Did your hinges bolt up to the existing hood bolt holes? Did you gain any clearance using these? The reason I ask, I'm about to bag my Suburban, and I'm curious if these will solve the hinge clearance issues when laying frame on 20's.

Thanks, and keep up the great work!!!

Lolyin58 · 09-19-2012, 06:19 PM

I have these hinges as well. All the bolt holes lined up fine, also don't have any clearance issues. I have 20's on the front with air. Hope this helps!

The only thing I was told was that they will not fit if you have factory a/c box on the firewall. As already mentioned the holes do line up perfectly.

My truck does not lay frame so I dont know if you will have a clearance issue or not
It does still have the inner factory inner fenders.

**screaminchevypickup** · 09-19-2012, 08:50 PM

Or they will not work with the factory heater box!!
