found a fiberglass hood

stopped by a junkyard about 15 miles from work and they had this covering an engine on a 2nd gen Camaro. I knew from the shape that it would fit a 73-80 truck. I think it`s called a hickey type hood.

Re: found a fiberglass hood

You didn't happen to see if there was a manufacturers label on that white topper on the other truck did you? I've been trying to figure out who made mine which looks like that one.

Blazers/Jimmys have the same hood as the trucks.

Re: found a fiberglass hood

It looks like it has vents in it. I think they were Hooker made. I almost bought a complete parts Blazer that had a hood on it like this. I was set on owning a Hickey one though.
