Thanks Mike,

I'll post some pics of the hood hinge, I use brass flat plate 1/2" x 2" bent to 90degrees, solder a piece of 1/8" ID tube to it, drill and tap the bottom of the grille and mount the plate to the grille. Then I use two pieces of brass 1/4" x 1" with three holes drilled in them, mount the two pieces to the front spring hanger and then use a 2-1/2" piece of brass rod to slide thru all three pieces. The bottom of the grille needs to be notched a bit as well.

Great work with the tilting Hood, how close are the guards to the air cleaners when you tilt it? have you lengthened the bonnet?

Paul, the hood and breathers clear each other when tilting. The hood was not lengthened.

I think the difference must be the guards as I can not tilt the hood with the air cleaners on as the guards catch the bottom of them. My solution is to lengthen the Hood 20mm, this will make it more scale to the truck I am building anyway.

Cheers for the reply........ps: great trucks!

Where did you get the grill from, do the headlights come with the grill?

Im pretty sure the grill is one from a memeber on here who made some pretty awesome grills. His name is Brian in Pa. Im not sure if brian is still making them. I do have one and they are awesome. And no the headlights dont come on that pr most grills, unless they are the ebay ones made in china. Which still look nice also. Im pretty sure keith got the head lights from rick at PMD his website is www.gardentrucking.com and he is a vendor on this forum.
