Hot Rods need pics 55-7 Chev p.u. hood latch panel

...does anyone have pics of the hood latch panel in a 55-7 Chevy pickup?..I have these pieces but not sure how they assemble as the truck was all apart when I got it.
...does the angled panel that the latch bolts to go on the top of the core support as shown?...where does the flat panel go?
Thanks

 

Yes it bolts on top like you have it . That is correct for the 6 cylinder core support position. The flat piece is a V8 core support spacer it moves the core support back for the factory V8 installation if you look at the bottom of your inner fenders you will see two sets of holes

 

I usually use the 6 cylinder position as most trucks were 6s , and it gives you room for long water pumps ,accesories etc..and big blocks

 

Get in touch with swade41 on here, he has tri-5 truck.

 

Unfortunately I don't have any photos handy

 

Also looks like your truck has a 1st gen camaro clip or 68 and up nova....so depending on your engine mount location your most likely gonna want to use 6cyl set up and discard the V8 spacer.

 

Like others said, the flat piece goes on top of the angled piece going rearward on trucks with V8’s. It winds up having similar core supports. You will see on the inner fender an angled area with weld nuts where the second supports bolts in. There is also a different lower splash pan used on the V8 set ups.

Thanks a bunch everyone,..now it makes sense ,..I am runnin a late model inline six so the core support fits well in that position.
...lumpy. you've got a good eye on the front clip....
