Re: Project 77K10

Maybe you've already tried this. I found it doing a google search at the top of the page. Type something like adjust hood, click the 67-72chevytrucks.com circle, then Google. It pulls up threads in this forum that relate to your search.

This is one of the first things I do myself. I'm not sure who the "RELIABLE, KNOWLEGABLE BOARDMEMBER" is, but several threads mention this technique and its free if it works.

FROM A RELIABLE, KNOWLEGABLE BOARDMEMBER "Open hood. Hold in open position. Have someone loosen the rear two hinge to fender bolts and loosen the front one just a tad. Push hood up till the hinges rotate backward a bit. Tighten rear bolts on both hinges. Check alignment as you lower hood. 99-100 times, this adjustment will lower the rear of your hood without having to replace anything.
