Sounds like a good deal to me as long as there are no big dents

I think you did ok it all depends where you live. I had to pay $50 for a good one here and really who cares if it was $150 its still better than a reproduction.

I wouldn`t act like the 73-77 hoods are trash. Heck if you wreck one of these trucks in a front end collision of any real force they are pretty much totaled either way. I`d just look for the rust/dent freest hood I can find and get it. As for the people on here saying around $25-$50 for a good hood, all I can say is that around here any hood under $100 is a pos in one area or another.

You didn't pay a bad price. I just would have sold you mine cheaper.
My hood will probably go in with the scrap metal too.
I find it pretty difficult to sell 73-79 Ford truck body parts around my area. They are usually too expensive to ship. So most of my dent side body parts get cut up and scrapped. I don't have enough room to store them and $.13 a pound is better then nothing.

If it is in good shape without any dings and dents and it will fit something you plan on building then yeah id say you got a darn good deal because its an ORIGINAL that doesnt need any work. but hey thats just my $.02

I've given some to buddies and sold others from $50-75 so yeah, you did alright.
And since Mark knocked the 73-77 hoods I'll knock ALL of um and say forget stock, just go with an Autofab drop center hood. Sure it's fiberglass and doesn't have a "crumple" zone, but with the bumpers I put on my trucks only the things I hit will be crumpling...
