Does anyone know of a place that makes Steel Cowl Induction hoods for the 68-72 style hoods? It seems the only thing I can find is GMC or Honda or New (1990s+) Ford.. Any info?

Kinda curious myself as well. It's either this or fabricate it myself out of the existing hood, which I'd rather not deal with.

If anyone is interested I know they aren't steel but I found a place that has some fiberglass hoods for our years with the ram air look. And they also have a 67-72 tilt front clips, e-mail me for more info if interested. Thought I'd put it out there.

http://www.usbody.com/WhereQualityComesFirst.htm This is the site guys. I was so excited about the tilt front end I had to share. I had seen a 70 in a Wendys parkinglot with the tilt and I just didn't have time to stop and ask questions, and from the looks of That persons and the ones on this site I'd say thats where he got his. I think its a reasonable price,What do you guys think? Also it's cool they also sell a glass cab also. Let me know what you think? Sorry the link just takes you to Motorhaven I guess it can't be posted on here.

Did you see the weight though? 50-70 pounds for the WHOLE CAB.

Agreed if my metal wasn't in good shape I'd consider some of those pieces. The only dents I have are in the passenger door (can be pulled), a minor one in front of the Rt front tire, and some wear and tear in the bed that will get welded/filled/re-bent when I do my full resto. For being 33 years old this truck is in amazingly good shape...
