Hood hinges adjustable?

hey y'all,

my hood has been hard to close lately and the rear of the hood has alot more space in it than the front, can i loosen the bolts that hold the hinges to the cab and move em around? i suspect thats all i need to do if its possible.

Thanks

yes you should be able to loosen the 3 bolts that hold the hinge to the inner fender and make adjustments. It will be easier if you have 2 people. If the back of the hood is high, have one person lift on the hood forcing the back of the hinges down and the front of them up and have the second person tighten the bolts.
