cowl induction hoods

Mine is a Key-Part steel hood...
and I bought it locally for $375 from Madden's Truck Parts..

The last swap meet I went to...
a guy had tons of them for about the same price..
He travels to swap meets all over the country..

Do you have any swap meets coming up???
because shipping a hood...it's the best idea...

I think I got extremely lucky...
I just painted the hood...no dents to fix..
 
I got BILLYRAY's old cowl hood, and my current one thats on the Jimmy is a little beat up from a recent hail storm, if you. Billyray's hood is in great condition, so email or PM my dad and he can help you out /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

$165 for a fiberglass Cowl hood???????? holy Shite... I didnt think you could get one for less then 4 bills....... Am i missing something?????
 
Same here...I thought they were $450 average!! What do you think the difference is between the $165 lift off and $300 bolt on? I'd prefer to have it work with stock hinges, but could the lift off be adapted to work?? Sounds like a sweet deal to me. /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
take your hinges and springs off and run with 4 hood pins... Or run jeep hood hinges on the back and two hood pins in the front.
 
Advantage hoods are by far the best quality hood on the market today. and they're generally cheaper than the competition too.
 
What do Jeep hinges do that ours don't? I can bolt on my stiffeners from my stock hood too. I like the thought of two hood pins, but I'd still like it to flip up...does that eliminate the hood latch? Looks like a new mod I may be making sooner than expected!! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
I bought a 2" cowl from advantage and mated it to my factory steel hood. Just cut out the metal underneath. Think it was $50 for the scoop and $15 for the crate and shipping. Good quality stuff too
 
So are the springs in the stock hinges going to be too strong for a 'glass' hood?? Lighter ones from a junkyard may be the only way to not crack the hood. And would hinges bolt to the lift off hood? /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
As long as I can pull the hood off by myself, I don't mind having 4 pins. I found some urethane hood pins from James Duff Enterprises that look like they will handle the offroad abuse and not rattle or crack the hood. They're about $70 for 4, that $235 for a lift off hood and pins...not bad. /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif
 
Well I just spoke with the guy at Advantage Fiberglass and the reason why they are cheaper than most cowl hoods is he builds them himself in a small shop and has little overhead.
Takes about a day to build one hood. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif I am seriously considering buying one because the K5 is going into the body shop. About $400 shipped to my door. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
 
yeah, i gave them a call and shawn gave me a good deal for a bolt on hood.

thanks for the link.. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif


i'm even thinking on ordering the lift off hood for myself.. i just dont know if i can hack it and make it still look good. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
