Where did you get the hood holders, or did I ask you that before?
How about a close up pic of one of those[/QUOTE]

Hey Solid! Here's the only 2 pics I have of the hood prop. They came with the truck when I bought it. It looks like whoevere built the truck, boogered them together with off the shelf stuff from the hardware store. The actual rod that props the hood up is just an aluminium tube that he took and pinched the one end together so he could drill a hole to mount it to the little steel bracket. That little bracket is held to the rad support with just a little u-bolt clamp. I guess the best part is what holds the other end of the hod prop. It's just a 2 way clasp, one side holds onto the rad support the other side holds the hood prop in place when not in use. Unfortunatley I don't have a pic of that.

The hole contraption is kind of 1/2 assed, not sure if I am going to use it or not.
