Aftermarket fiberglass hoods?

Been looking around a bit and have not seen anything at all really. Is there anyone that makes a reasonable fiberglass hood for these trucks or a hood at all for that matter? Looking for under $500ish. Mine has a hood, but with the number of dents I was hoping to find a replacement.

I don't think anyone manufactures steel or fiberglass hoods for our trucks. You might want to take a look at Craigslist in the Atlanta area, a guy in Palmetto has been parting one out for awhile. There is a good parts yard in Lagrange on U.S Hwy 27 you might want to take a ride to

check out US Body Source, they make everything from fenders and hoods to full front clips in HD Street or Race weight light.

Fiberglass Reproduction Body Panels
I have been wanting the glass flip front since it was priced at 1299 its well over 1800 the last time I looked, im afraid to look now.

Full front tilt - $1,400
Just remember, ALL that stuff that is mounted on the fenders and front sections will need to be moved some where. I did one of these many yrs ago and its a lot of work. Its a real challenge to re-locate all that stuff. JC Whitney offered a full 'hood' some yrs back. They still have all kinds of scoops. I've seen a few molded in before. I saw the hood scoop off a Tornado molded onto a 66' hood once. Looked kind of cool. Different anyway.

Same link as Shawn provided. The hood is a race-weight item at $500, the $1800 gets the complete front end.
