Cervinis makes (or at least did make) some hoods for our trucks, but I doubt they are steel (probably fiberglass). That hood looks to me like they grafted part of the hood from a Mustang onto the stock OBS hood. It doesn't seem like there are too many aftermarket hood options for the OBS trucks. I had a fiberglass ram air hood on my '99 F-150 and it would be col to have a truck with "nostrils" again, but I'm not about to stick on the stupid lick and stick fake air intakes that everyone else seems obsessed with.

Here is a picture of the one I had.

That is a cool photo album, sweet truck. the hood looks like an obs hood with a section of a cowl induction hood molded on top, maybe a dodge cowl induction? kinda looks like a dodge hood on top. looks sweet.

ya thunder is a gasser im pretty sure it's a 460, i was told it was a powerstroke to start with but they wrecked it so bad in the movie they had to make a new one and re shoot some of the scenes, not for sure though its just what i herd. and im pretty sure its a custom hood too, i was just cerious if anyone knew where i could find one close to it.

That is a nice truck.

Reflexxion has one steel hood for our trucks. It's a reverse cowl, though. Nice that it's a real hood that you can use with your stock hinges.

There was an east-coast vendor that makes the fiberglass ones (I am sure there are others), but what's the point if you can't attach the hinge and have to lift the hood off?

Thanks! I loved that truck, but I needed something a little bigger. Think I have that covered with the current ride, lol. Now if I could just take this truck and get it looking as good as that one was in that picture.... One project at a time I guess.
