Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

I agree. I really like the "scoop" in the center. IMO it's the only style point GMC ever did better than Chevy. I spent years looking for one of those and never came up with an example worth buying. Back when I bought my truck there were literally hundreds of 60-66 Chevy and GMC trucks in the local wrecking yards and even with that volume to pick from, hoods without major rust or damage were nearly impossible to find. It took 7 years to find the Chevy hood I ended up with, and I consider myself lucky to have found it.

I also wanted to try a 1960 Chevy double hump hood with gloss black inserts and spent additional years looking for one of those. But I like the one I have (and my wife prefers it), so eventually I lost interest and moved on to other priorities.
