Front tilt hood

Maybe It would be easier to put a front tilting hood rather than trying to relocate the hinge bolt holes on my 58 cab to fit a 55 hood. Any direction on a good kit?

Re: Front tilt hood

Perhaps Rob from NoLimit will chime in here, but im pretty sure that NoLimit does not make a kit for the 58/59's. Their kit may help you if you're using a '55 front clip, though...

Re: Front tilt hood

That's what I have is a 55 front clip on a 58 cab. I saw a NOLIMIT front tilt kit on ebay for $299. Looks like a nice kit.

Re: Front tilt hood

I would like to see a kit for a side opening hood, like the old buicks had. On my '49 it would be sweet.
