    I was going to replace my center hood hinge and before I put the order in I took a measurement and mine measures 28 1/2" . The replacement measures 29 3/4". Also, my radiator support rods measure 29 1/4" and the replacement is 32" Neither one looks like they have been modified so just where were these purchased from? attachment.jpg hood hinge.jpg HOOD RODS.jpg

    Thanks for the info. I may have to buy a hinge and modify one end to get it to fit my 37. Luckily the rad rods come with enough threads on one end that I can cut it down to fit.

    my bet is that they are like the rad support rods, they fit '32 to '36 cars... 1 size fits all...
    the hinges are most probably made for all '35 to '37 trucks... you trim to fit...
    ... nice truck !

    My 37 truck hood measures 30 1/2 inches in the middle. It probably is a cut to fit rod.
