68 hoods

I am looking at getting a 68 C20, but it has a tweaked hood from stiff hinges. I think I can save the hinges. Do any of the aftermarket manufacturers make a good hood. I know this has been discussed before, and from what I can remember the cowl induction hoods don't fit well. I am going to try and find a good original if I buy the truck.

Too many good used hoods out there to have to commit to a repop.

Re: 68 hoods

My Burban came with aftermarket cowl hood. It was such a mess I traded it for a rusty OE and felt good about the deal. If you have to drive two hours to get a nice hood that's nothing compared to the time that it would have taken to fix one like I had.
