Telescopic hood prop

Anybody got a source for this style of hood prop ?
This style was on Corvette, years ago.

 

My 56 chevy wagon rear top window used them too.

 

Almost all of the big Corvette suppliers handle those as re-pops, and there were a couple of different iterations of them to possibly "fine-tune" your particular dimensions. Search "CORVETTE PARTS" in your browser, or click the link below, for instance. DD

Try Austin Hardware (.com I believe)

 

Suburbans with tailgates had the same on the window too! My '69 does.

 

Is it the kind that has sort if a ratchet mechanism? You lift again and it releases? My TR6 and TR7 had those on the trunks.

 

might try ecklerscorvette.com their in ***usville, FL

 

Any cl***ic corvette supplier will have them.

 

I just installed a front hood prop from a fiero in the trunk of my wifes nash metro, that was very similar but painted black. works great and was cheep.

Yes, thats what they are. You lift it to a point, ad then lower it and it locks up. You raise it again and it unlocks to lower.
