Hi
I am looking for documentation or diagrams on how to fabricate
the hinges assembly for a 1953 front tilt hood.

Any help would be appreciated.

Reg,

My tilt hinge is a BMW hood hinge. I believe most of the kits used the same hinge. When I received the kit from No Limit it still had the BMW part number on it. If you get the hinge then you just need to build the rollers, hood latch and supports.

a friend of mine uses Buick reverse opening hood hinges on his kits. They work better than the others as you don't need a prop rod to hold the hood open. He builds them in his spare time. Send me your email address and I will forward it to him.

 

Hello Truckfarmer, I was just browsing the message boards and came across your reply about reverse opening hinges made by your friend. I have a 55 F100. It sounds like these might be right for my truck. Please e-mail info to John at:

Thanks, John

 

Bobs F100's in Riverside CA has a kit. Somehow I guess other providers of Effie Ford Parts may have kits as well

 

Truckfarmer: I have a tilt mechanism from a buick Lesabre and would like info on modifying it for my 53 f100. Any info you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, tlm9999(No Email Addresses In Posts!)

 

I checked with my friend. He sells the kits to supplement his retirement and won't give out his blueprint. Sorry.

 

Truckfarmer, I too would like info on purchasing the reverse tilt hood parts/kit. Please email me at rhughes76@home.com

Thanks
