Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc

Cowl hoods take away from the natural lines of our 67-72 trucks. Just my .02 cents.

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc

Have you checked out Unlimited Products? They are located in So. Cal. out in the high desert. My brother purchased one of their cowl hoods for a V8 Luv truck that he built. He was happy with the hood, but then he built it for drag racing and not a show truck. Their addy is up22.com

I purchased mine at the Pamona swap meet for $350.00 fits great. I don't know where Cobb, Ca is but if you can make it to Pamona they always have them there.

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc

I have always loved cowl hoods. I would never put one on my current 68 but I would love to get a shortbed 68 and get a 4 inch cowl hood on it. I think just about anything under 4 inches just looks stupid.

Thats a great price but I'm leaning towards LMC because it come installed with a "Bug Catcher Screen" that I REALLY like the looks of.

P.S. Don't tell me I can make my own, because I'm an inept retard when it comes to ANY type of Fabrication!

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc

Wes,
Yes they may all have the screens, but LMC was the ONLY ONE to show it.
No one else had it in their Pictures or their Descriptions.
If that be the case, then they should update it, because I'm ready to buy one on MONDAY!

Re: Cowl hoods for a 72 gmc

We sell Triplus hoods and they have the screen. Unfortunatly we do not have the personnel to offer every picture of every part or complete description of every part we sell. We offer way over 500,000 parts . I wish we could. I would just get one from LMC.

Yea thats what I pretty much planned to do, and have it shipped to my Mechanics, to cut down on the "Residential Delivery Charge".
