Any leads on a Hickey Hood? (drop center hood)

Hey guys, I am building a 76 k5 converted to a 73-75 for my brother in law, and am trying to locate a drop center hood for a 73-80 chevy/gmc. I have found some that were either on a truck selling complete or a few I have called about on craigslist, but reluctant shippers. Anybody know of a lead or have one collecting dust? Trevor

Check us body source. They still make them

Checked them out, but they are different from the hickeys. They don't have the cowl hood part (bulge) towards the center back.

On that note, anyone have any experience with autofab? They reproduce the hickey hood for around $500. Didn't know the quality. Trevor

I plan on buying one from them within the next month if they allow local pick up as I will be driving right by there. I will let you know if you haven't gotten one by then
