1935/36 Ford Truck hood latch/catch problems

Hello all, I am working on my '36 getting it ready for the roundup, I need some help from other 35/36 truck owners (may car owners can chime in too).

I am seem to be missing what I believe is some sort of hood catch for the front of the hood sides, it keeps the hood sides from flopping around. I have the hood spring mechanism on there, but nothing it latches on to.

Anybody have any pictures of this, or can take some off their trucks (car)??

I cant seem to find anything online about this.

Gracias

 

on a '35 car the hood catch bracket is on the side of the radiator. sorry not sure about how a truck hood is held down.

here is a pic of the radiator where you can see the brackets on the side of it for the hood

 

Yep, the original radiator bracket had a tab welded to that the hood latches to. If you have repro brackets, you will have to fab something similar to weemark's pic.

 

Awesome thanks for the replys,,,

Never thought about looking for an original radiator, brassworks has some nice stuff, but way too rich for my blood.

And now it makes sense, no wonder I could not find it online as a separate piece. I will not be using an original radiator, fabbing one up is not a problem, just wanted to "see it".

 

my radiator came from walker and it had the brackets on it.
