'78 hood brace

Where can I get the braces that keep the hood from bending?

Re: '78 hood brace

I used to have a 77swb and a 79 blazer,,,, I used a piece of 1" square tubing on both sides of the hood. It will lay in the channel where the inner and outter skins come together. Making sure the hinges are good is a must aswell.
