Hood tilt/latch question
I have the MMB/CPP HOOD TILT KIT. getting ready to install it, but I don't have any good latching mechanism or spring. Nothing.. I got the truck in pieces. Is this kit from midfifty everything I need to get my hood to close and shut properly?

No... you will need the stock hood latch that mounts on the upper radiator valence. and maybe the dowel that mounts on the hood.

The kit I posted has both of those items. I don't understand what you're trying to tell me. Is there stuff in that kit I don't need?

Oops Sorry... I looked at the picture of the TILT hood kit on midfiftys website and NOT the hood LATCH kit that you listed.
That is 2 Oops posts for me in 2 days!! Is there some kind of penalty for that.....

What you don't need is the safety latch. It is circled in the kit picture, and referenced in the underlined text from Mid Fifty's website.
