Yes it was still wearing the original 1960 GMC hood when we bought the truck:
Although they are now rare and desirable to restorers, I thought they were hideous looking even as a pre teenager when these trucks were brand new. In addition mine was damaged in a deer collision by the original owner, which left the passenger side hump about ½” higher than the driver side. It looked okay in yellow but black lacquer would have really highlighted the defect. Winter driving also flooded the engine compartment with crud due to the open screen in the front.
I donated the hood to a local restorer because it was rust free and in much better condition than any of the other hoods he owned.
