How to measure a hoodUpdated 6 months ago

How do you find the correct hood for your application?

• Get the OEM# for your hood from your local dealer using the VIN#. (Preferred)

          OR…

• Measure the centerline of the hood from the cowl to the grill. (See Pic. 1)

• Take note of external air cleaners, the number, and which side they are on.

• Note the shape of the windshield at the base. Is it curved or flat?

• Does your truck have a Set Forward or Set Back front axle? (See Pic. 2 )

• Note the style of headlights you have. Sealed beam or composite. (See Pic. 3)

• Snap a few photos (Front, left and right views)
