Master Tech Dave Welch shows us how to change hood hinges and re-align your hood for proper fit and function. This video was shot using a 1972 Suburban, but most 63-72 trucks will be similar. Need parts for your Classic Chevrolet or GMC Pickup, visit www.brotherstrucks.com

Hello Brothers, thank you for the info. and getting back to me. The hinges being in a bind could very well be my problem. I'll give it a try. Again, Many thanks for this info. R.W.
Great video with several important tech. on bolt removal. I have good hinges but still not enough adjustment to get the back of my hood down and in alignment with my cowl? If my slots were longer i could lower the hood back down enough but slots are not long enough??
Hinge replacement and adjust on 72+ ??
For the love of God, I just need to replace the heater blower on a 71 suburban in order to remove the old one. Unfortunately I must remove the passenger hood hinge. So I’m thinking I will support the hood with some straps. Remove the spring therefore the hinge should easily collapse upwards enough to remove the blower motor.
I've always liked the "Youtube Certified Mechanic" joke. Nice touch with the patch! ;-0-
I would've liked to see how you adjusted the hinges…
But where he get the springs?
Anytime I'm messing with hood alignments, I always remove the grill…..just in case it closes off a tad and doesn't want to open.
Would there be any particular reason to replace the springs? I was thinking about keeping my original hood springs and just sandblasting and repainting them rather than buy brand new ones if I don't have to.
I does it also apply to 79 El Camino thanks
Thanks for reminding me to buy the side bump stops. Great video. Premium content
Thanks! But oohhh Brother if that spring would’ve pinched ya. Ouch! Glad it didn’t
Do you have hinges for 67-72 c50s?
Thanks for the help
