    So I finally got to putting the hood assembly together and now that I have it on the truck it's obvious that I'm missing some hardware. I hooked in the handles to each side hood piece and I can see the bar that the handles move, but there isn't anything attached to this bar. I notice that there are two holes in the fender near each end of this bar on each hood piece (which I imagine is how these latch to the truck), but I haven't been able to find what hooks to them. Anyone have a 3 piece hood that could take a picture of what I need to latch these down? As much fun as using bungee cords on the inside of these hood pieces sounds.....

    Found the hooks. Man i love this forum. Thanks again 56C3B6. That's a good looking truck btw. You mind showing me a picture of your rear bumper brackets? I'm trying to figure out the best option. Did you have yours fabricated? Use an after market bumper?

    Sorry no rear bumper on it, I don't think it ever had one. I do have a bumper I pulled from a '62 Dodge panel truck which looks the same, but the mounts weren't quite right. Some day I am going to get around to fabricating a set.
