Hood hinges on a 69 c10

[RonWT]

Folks, I have found a couple of sets (used) of hood hinges that are both better than mine. I have installed both sets, and it's better but I can't get the rear of the hood to sit flush with the cowling. Are the aluminum hinges the way to go? Or is there a trick with the OEM style hinges? I have tried the full range of adjustments on the rear bolts, but still haven't got them to sit low enough to be flush.

Thanks,

RonWT

Are you able to push it down in to place after it's closed?
Mine was the same way, I could push both sides down and it would line up.
I got new hinges and that fixed it.

I can push it down, but it will not stay.

Any slot left loosen and push up on the front of the hood. That is the normal adjustment for that condition. Jim

I like the 2nd link better from PJ with the pics.

I hope this helps!
