Here is a few pics of my 48 Dodge pilot house hood after during and before I sectioned it to match the cuts I made to the cab. I removed 1" at the back and 2"s in the front. On the cab I started out at the back made a 1" piecut to the front. You can see the difference in the hood with one side cut then the other. Next is a one piece hood that will open from the front.
1993 Dakota ch***is and floor and firewall and rad. support and hood hinges. I bought a 93 and sold most everything I don't want. I'll also be using power window motors and door locks and a/c.
