anyone heard of these things or got any pictures of what they look like on a truck???
Thanks

I believe that would be a low profile hood similar to these:

77gmcjoe · 11-11-2010, 07:39 PM

I remember a truck running around my home town about 20 years ago with a hood that resembled that one.

To each his own, but I thought the stock hood looked a lot better.

*EDIT* If I'm not mistaken, JC Whitney used to have something like that in their old catalogs.

Gary66 · 11-20-2010, 09:15 PM

So what would one of these hoods be worth??

f.monroe · 11-20-2010, 09:26 PM

I do not know what they are worth but this one was on ebay.

Yes. They were designed by Vic Hickey to be used on his desert racers. The lower profile allowed better visibility

they still sell em, there bought $400.00 . I'm think'n bout get'n one, every body has a cowl hood so this would be different . they have em for both early and late style's.

babyJay · 11-21-2010, 10:15 AM

Ken, your truck would look good rockin' one of those...

Malo83 · 11-21-2010, 02:46 PM

Ugggly!!!

THE "10" SILVERADO · 11-21-2010, 03:33 PM

If I didn't want to go with a cowl hood I'd think I'd actually want one of those on my truck

48cj2a · 11-21-2010, 08:31 PM

Wasn't that also the beginings of aerodynamics in the offroad desert racing world?

Yep, also heard there was a few made for the '67-72 bodies too...

Sabaka454 · 11-21-2010, 11:25 PM

Ugly

THE "10" SILVERADO · 11-21-2010, 11:29 PM

I think it would be great if it was that hood mixed with the dual cowl hood at LMC
