Looking for a cowl hood.

I am looking for a cowl hood for my 1979 F150. I remember seeing an advertisement in a 4wheeler mag a few years ago, but am not able to locate it. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Also looking to put a 4 to 6 inch lift on the truck. I had a similar pickup with a 6 inch Skyjacker lift on it, just wondering about any of the other manufactures products.

Try US Body Suorce or up22.com for hoods.

Thanks for the links just what I was looking for. My truck got hit by hail this year and was thinking of making some changes.

Hope you can see the picture, but that F-350 on the cover has 4" cowl hood.

True Blue Trucks Magazine

Shartiger's truck in the third issue has a near perfect custom built 4" cowl hood. It looks perfect compared to those available from other manufacturers. Really cool pics in the magazine. Really like and will subscribe myself. We just started selling it too.

Ya thats a sick looking truck. 4" cowl is what I was thinking of going with would like to find a steel one but if fiberglass is all I find I guess it will just take a bit more work. Thanks for the pix

Before getting to excited, do a search on up22, you find lots of interesting reading.

my personal opinion on the up22 (unlimited hoods) is that they dont fit and match the dents bodylines to well, i bought one about 3 years ago and was very disappointed with the fit, esp for the price, my next one will be a weld on using a factory hood!

A friend went through a nightmare with his and there are lots of threads on numerous sites that describe poor workmanship, lousy service and high shipping costs. Beware.
