60-66 hood hinge brackets for the LOWERED - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PBFAB.COM · 02-10-2009, 01:05 AM

Figured I would post up some pics of the hood hinge brackets I build for the 60-66 trucks. These brackets allow you to use your factory hood hinges once the factory inners have been removed for more tire clearance.

If you're intending to lay frame, these will only work with up to a 27" tall tire. At this drop, it will also be necessary to remove the factory spring, trim the lower hinge arm, and rig up a gas charged strut. The brackets also come with the tabs that mount to the core support in case you want to incorporate some tubing.

They run $200 shipped anywhere in the continental U.S.

I wouldn't mind changing out my hinges. Do you think those brackets could work with my front tubs????

It's hard to tell by just looking at the pic.... but I would lean towards a negative, at least not without possible mods to one or the other.
