Re: length of b3 hood?

What do you need measured? Center at the hinge or on the sides or both? MM

center of hinge and both sides would be great! front to back. they leaned my radiator back and just cut the very front of the hood to do it.

Tomorrow I'll try to uncover the hood and get those measurements. Funny how things just seem to pile on board. MM

Had a look at your picture you attached and the bonnet looks very close to what it should be also if you knock out the piano type pin from the hinge you can easily reverse the 2 sides back the way they should be.

Re: length of b3 hood?

Easiest way to see if they will fit is measure up the diameter of your threads both front and back also need the threads per inch I can check those against what I have got and see. Or email them with the sizes and they will get back to you they where fantastic to deal with. My 27 runs 2 different sizes larger ones on the front.

I have their caps on my 27. They come not polished but I just got a local chrome plater to polish mine for me.

After I had a go at polishing I sent them to the metal polishers and this is how they came back.

Re: length of b3 hood?

Went out and uncovered and measured it today. Stupid me didn't write it down, thought I would remember. I think it as 37" center hood hinge, 37 5/8" at side hinge, and the same at lower end of sides. 20" from side hinge (top) to bottom of side. I will hopefully get out there tomorrow after a early morning visit to my VA doc and re-measure. I wouldn't think yours would have been cut shorter but might have been from a different model of truck. MM
