Need a hood!!!!

SHould probably post in the classifieds, but figure more people would see it here. I cant believe i cant find a decent hood here in Las vegas. Mine flew open on me, and I cant find a decent one at the junkyards. If anyone lives in vegas then u know that the yards here pretty much suck. If anyone lives here and has one that they want to get rid of, let me know. Looking for a clean hood, doesnt have to be cherry, but decent. almost forgot to mention its for a '70 f100

The hoods and hinges are the same: 1967/72 F100/750.

Hood flying up: This is a common problem with these trucks, and it has affected them since they were brand new.

Thanks. I thought they were all the same. I cant be the only person on this site that lives in vegas. I kind of ticks me off that I cant find a decent one here. When if I was back inthe bay area I could go out and bring back 10 before it got dark.

I searched form before about a guy who put a 78 hood on his 68.would have to change hood latch and use your hood springs.that would change your search to 67-79.

I havent been pulled over yet, my truck always attracts attention from the cops. I came to the realization that alot of cops here in vegas let people in oldskool cars slide, and let u get away with more. I know from messing around in my cousins chevelle to my challenger or my c10. But as soon as i do alittle drift in my 240 blurp red and blues behind me.

Check Nevada Pic-A-Part on North Lamb Blvd. Last week there were at least 3 bumps out there.

CHecked them already they got the same trucks there for about a month there. Theres one hood there dented in the front , with a hole on top of it. Probably going to the one in henderson on the week end, whent there today and they took out all the ford trucks to bring in new ones. On lamb they had a half ton a couple weeks ago with a disc break swap already done, when i came back someone beat me to them.
