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)
