Nice JD!

 

[JD3020]

Thanks! IDK why but it looks pretty good in pictures, but in person its really just a beat-up rusty farm truck. LOL

And one of it hiding in the weeds. Here you can see my jacked up hood thanks to the PO. :doh:

Just have em photo chop that and the rust out. If they can make the girls look better than they do in person, I say it's cool for your truck too. LOL :ford:

 

[powerSmokin]

My hood is the same way, stupid owner before me did it. Luckily I have a spare one waiting to be painted.

Is it right where the hinges attach to the hood?

Is it right where the hinges attach to the hood?

Not at the hinges, but at the spring, i think. Been a while since i've looked at it under the hood.


When i bought the truck i was gonna use it as an excuse to get a cowl hood. 2 years later i'm still rocking the bent hood. When people ask i say its for added airflow. LOL

If it's where it attaches or a little further out, it is most likely the springs/hinges seizing up some. A lot of the OBS trucks are like that. I try to keep anti-seize on mine for that reason.

 

[96stacked&smoken]

Yeah mine is were the hood spring attaches, its common on these trucks.

 

[96stacked&smoken]

I had to replace the hoodspring cause it would over extend, but still got the bent hood.lol

 

[Sledge]

Here it is soon after I got it. Put a black grille on, got rid of the chrome trim around the wheel wells and put my 6" black stack on since.

My plow truck did the same thing. Fixed the spring, and hit it w/some white lithium.

Yup, and yet some people still ask why you can't use stock springs on a fiberglass hood. :morons:

 

[JD3020]

My issue isn't that the spring stuck, but it got overextended at one point and is jacked up.

That's what happened to mine and I didn't realize it went to pull down and the damage was done
