Solve Your 1973-1980 Chevy Pickup’s Sloppy Hood Fitment With Our Steel C10 Hood Hinges

Does poor hood fitment have you struggling to open or close your C10’s hood without damaging the paint? Often the original rusty and crusty C10 hood hinges are to blame. After years of daily use, the stock hinges often have worn to the point of excessive pivot point slop, not to mention the binding caused by years of dirt and debris caught in them. This creates a hard to open or close hood that can lead to hood damage (protect your steel hood with a set of our C10 hood braces). Original C10 hood hinges are tough to find in decent shape and most aftermarket stamped steel C10 hood hinges aren’t much better. So that normally leaves the best option being expensive billet hood hinges. These billet hinges are a great solution but can be quite expensive. Not to mention many owners aren’t looking for the “bling” of polished aluminum but for a solution that retains an OEM look at a more palatable price point. Our Hoodini™ plate steel custom hood hinges provide accurate and repeatable opening and closing operations to keep your hood aligned where you’ve set it.

Smooth Hood Opening And Closing With Ample Adjustment Settings For A Perfect Fit

When designing our steel C10 hood hinges for the ’73-’80 Chevy C10 we knew it had to be strong and built to handle thousands of opening and closing cycles without the hood adjustment changing, which can lead to chipped paint, hood damage, or even a hood jammed that won’t open. We also knew we wanted custom hood hinges that had an original appearance with minimal maintenance, which is why we opted for 7ga and 10ga steel plate that is flat black zinc coated. This coating, much like the original coating GM used, provides clean looks with a corrosion resistant finish that can be painted if the installer wishes. Lastly, we wanted to ditch the traditional hood spring, which weakens over time and often can be noisy, with a tried and true hydraulic gas strut assembly like those used on modern vehicles. The hydraulic gas strut assembly ensures the hood rises evenly with minimal effort and allows the hood to be closed without placing a lot of stress on the hood structure.

Sold as a pair, Hoodini™ custom hood hinges ship fully assembled and are available in solid and slotted designs. There is no assembly or adjustment required. Simply follow the included instructions for hood removal and hinge installation. Then, enjoy the adjustability using the multiple adjustment points of the hinges to easily square your hood gaps, and you’ll be wondering why you waited so long to replace your C10’s hood hinges!
