flip hood hinges

Post by rojam18801 »

driver side hinge. the pin is 3.5 inch above frame. this lets the grill clear the bumper when hood is open

driver side from back side.

driver side again the up right bar, a 1x1 inch square tube used to hold the radiator and the stop chain for hood

passenge side hinge from front. this side has a nut on pin to keep hood. remove this nut and hood slides to the side and comes off. it takes two people to do this. it's not heavy but hard to get hold of.

Image
the back side of the front fenders have to be cut so the hood can tilt without scratching the doors. you can see where they are split from other pic's of my truck. anymore question's. i'll be here....the old trucker
