I just put a TriPlus on my 72. The only issue was with the front corners where the skin welded to the bracing. It created a knife edge that made contact with grill before the stop lands contacted the stops. I used a pair of pliers and rolled the knife edge in for a perfect fit. I got many compliments on that hood at the Truck Nationals last week and it wasn't even painted yet. TriPlus packaged that hood a reinforced sealed cell foam protecting the corners, and edges. It was sealed in plastic, in a reinforced box inside another very thick full sized shipping box. I've used TriPlus fenders, inner fenders, rockers, cab corners, floor pans, etc. I've used other aftermarket sheet metal and after using TriPlus, I wont use anything else.

I go to KC pretty regularly so I saved the shipping costs by picking it up from Classic Parts. You can see in this pic where I bent/rolled the knife edge back for about 6" inches on each side of the leading edges of the front corners. Other than that, that hood fit better than expected and is reinforced better than the factory hoods. Hell, it got the old girl a second place trophy and wasn't even painted! ;) https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...b8&oe=56A34F6B https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...77&oe=56A389A7
