Sorry- I was dying to use that pic.

All of the '67-'68 and '69-'72 Steel cowl hoods are made by Tri-Plus manufacturing. There's not a second manufacturer.

Jon - How hard would it be to make the 67/68 hood have the same cowl rise as the 69-72 hood?

Rob,

Any changes to the way they're made would be VERY cost prohibitive. Also; if a variant were "Mass produced" people would tire of it and be looking for another variant.

If I wanted something really unique for my own truck I'd ask Carter to draw it up and then contact Lewis Fab, or Scotts to make it. Sounds pricey but in the long run I think I'd be more satisfied with my "One off".

If you "end up" with a damaged 69-72 hood, send the cowl section to me and I'll fab up a unique 67/68 one,

You are in Georgia, Goodmark is Lawrenceville, GA right off 316.... At least you could pick one up and not risk shipping damage should you decide to go that route.

I have posted this hood on a blue pro-street truck in the past but can't find the pic right now. I have it saved at work on my other computer.

Most of US body's parts are listed as race only.Usually this is because they are too lightweight for regular service.Just a heads up to look at what it says before choosing.
