"Work smart, not hard!!!!" is a sentiment not shared by everyone until it's too late LOL :)

Great video Kevin I have not installed my hood yet but was able to get the hinge installed so I am on the way thanks again for the great help

[@Anth4044]

Thank you for showing everything even mistakes,This is what more people need to do on their vids,Thanks so much very great videos

[@yamahaxs6501]

great info on the hood alignment. Definitely gonna work on mine this weekend. Diggin the billet hinges, too. I dig carefully selected high dollar parts on an old rusty truck.

[@MLFranklin]

Really great video. I have appreciated Kevin's knowledge and explanations for a longtime. Those billet hinges are beautiful and work well, but I'm going for more of the stock look with mine and so will probably go with the stock replacements. Tempting, though.

[@goobermintheretik1454]

Thank you for the lesson on single person hood alignment. I know I can do it now.

[@moneygeewtee]

Nice looking hinges, but I'd rather go with factory, as it's a lot less adjustment (and I'm just too impatient!). Love that year C10!!

[@joeknowski675]

The bullet hinges aren't just for look. They eliminate the left to right movement you get with the stock hinges opening and closing the hood. Smoother with the strut attached at the bottom rather than a spring too.

not to mention saving a ton of money

[@HECTRsa1]

good

[@masonl8128]

Installing 9 pieces on 72 on each side right now, from cab braces all the way out to new rockers, owner ordered all pieces from LMC, not one piece fit properly, not one, all had heavy massaging to make work, should say kinda similar to original.

[@karlsmith2570]

I actually wondered if you were planning on doing a video on swapping out the in-cab fuel tank for one that sits between the frame rails

[@TerenceLaGrange]

Definitely a good video but what do you do for a popping action to open it after if you install the after market hinges… ?

Saludos de Argentina! Más videos en castellano?

[@SaeedSaeed1212s]

I Like It

[@henrydixon3159]

Great video Kevin I have a question what is the correct way to mount the struct top & bottom are do it matter

[@Lmctruck1]

Hi Henry, mount the hinge to the body then mount the hood.

[@ericchapman8956]

No replacement bushings but you sell replacement hinges... curious, do these hinges include... bushings? Seems convenient.

[@jimmiranda7181]

I recently purchased LMC exclusive cabled hood latch. Have you made a video for that?

[@Lmctruck1]

Hi Jim, we do not have that video at this time. We have noted your comment and will keep you updated if we add one!

[@FamiliaMichoacana1]

Is there a link to the set of screws used in the video?

[@thegoat5334]

What's up with the 71-72 front bumper on this 69? Any suggestions...

[@karlsmith2570]

The Chevrolet C10 was manufactured from 1968-1972 So there's very little change in the style during the production run of that year model of truck

[@theyellowtruck9622]

Where i get the new billets hood hinges, for a chevy truck C-10 1969.

[@josephbober7284]

Wish I could find parts for my dodge truck

[@karlsmith2570]

LMC offers parts for Dodge trucks too

[@ryan2005stevens]

Way over priced! But look nice.

[@codeofconductcodeofconduct6592]

Ryan Stevens over priced or u just cant afford it?

[@mason5540]

there are better things to spend your money on for sure

[@ADubTheGrizzy]

This dude can put hood hinges on a Chevy with a broomstick and patience, bulshit

[@oldsjunkie1]

The problem is there isn't a simple decently made stock replacement hinge out there. I got a set of the cheap repos and they're impossible to make fit properly, and one has already bent within 2 months of gentle use. I'm not spending $600 on billet hinges that would look ridiculous on my beater hot rod truck, just as they do on this truck... If you guys and Brothers are so into helping us restore our trucks, quit pumping out these terrible parts to sell us and make us some quality parts at an affordable price. I don't want to put cheap junk on my truck, but it's not a 75K restore.

[@handyman68]

$40 factory, $749 billet....lol

[@posky]

Where can I find factory hinges for my 74?

[@garylarson1502]

Everything I've ever bought from LMC truck has broke. Dont waste your money. That place is a joke.

[@Lmctruck1]

Hi Gary! We're sorry to hear you've had trouble with parts from us. Have you given us a call to let us know about the broken pieces? If not, give us a call so we can discuss the issues a bit further.
