Has anyone had any experience installing one of those fiberglass front tilting clips? Fairlane company sells one that hinges towards the front bumper. I hear they take some modification to the cab surface. Just wonder if anyone has good things to say about them. Considering one for my 49 F1.

 

Ol,

this should tell you what you need... it's not forthe faint of heart and does require some mods to the hood and in my case to the cowl.. hope it helps

John, Thank you very much for the article. Looks like a really neat install on the '53. I am still doing a gut check on myself to see if I want to attempt this. This website is a great source of info due to folks such as yourself. Thanks again! Jerry

 

John, Have you noticed any cracks in the fiberglass? I have spoken to you, i say close to 3 yrs ago about it. But i never asked if you saw cracks. I have one that someone tried to use. Mine has cracks but i think they never had support in it.They just bolted it to the frame with not much strength. The cracks look like stress cracks in the outer gel coat. Thanks RT

 

I have a set of chromed front flip hinges if anyone is interested in them PM me.

 

Does anyone know where to get a 91-97 F-sieries Fiberglass tilt front end?
