Hood question 05 2500HD - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1Ton · 09-26-2009, 04:33 PM

My truck got backed into and the hood needs replaced. I want to put a cowl induction hood on it. Any suggestions on which one to get?

I included a pic of the truck.

The HD hood is different than 1500 & 2500LD. I searched came up with nothing?

The 03-06 bodystyle didn't have different hoods for the HD and regular trucks. Only suggestion I have is to go with a steel one. I haven't seen too many trucks the 03-06 style with cowl hoods.

03 and 04 hoods were the same 1/2 ton to 1ton. in 05 the HD's were different than the lighter duty ones. They have a steeper slope at the front. Its about 1 1/2 inches taller than the ld ones. Then in 06 the hoods ere the same ld and hd.
I found there is one company that makes them for the 05 HD style hood. Reflexxion is the company thier around $600 shipped.

Here is a pic of it.

I like it too. I also like the cowl induction hoods. I just want to make sure it retains the factory look with the cowl induction. And since I dont have to foot the whole bill I am doing it. Because if I had to buy the hood and then paint it it would probably cost me close to $900. This way it is just the difference in price between a stock hood and the cowl induction one.
