'69 Fargo W100
I was constantly having to lift the hood off the truck and put it back on, so I got fed up with it and robbed the hinges from my '64. This truck didn't have hinges when I got it. Well, I realized I couldn't bolt them onto the hood since someone clearly hacked the hood up to get the original nuts out. I ended up just welding a nut to a piece of 1/8" flat and flipping it upside down, then welding it to the hood. There wasn't a lot of metal to weld to, but it should hold fine. At least now I can open and close the hood.
