It's crazy, I just listened to a podcast with Derrick on my comute today and the host mentioned this product! I thought of you because I new the old ramp truck had a prototype! Plus congrats on your last video views, hopefully people will follow along with everything else you do!
And i watched Derek cut, and prep the hood savers and swap the stepside hood onto the square body 77 ramp truck and the cat farm crew cab tires and wheels when he decided to sell it
Cannot find them on the site now, but when I looked at first he was asking $50 for these when you can get the same from LMC for $20. A feller's not rich here, so had to pass.
I think it's funny that he bought the product that was announced using that truck hey announced the product with the ones that are already on the truck cuz as soon as I clicked and realized what he had bought I'm like that truck already has them on it
@@streetratgarageyeah I did continue watching the video and I get it I do have a question because I wasn't able to watch as good as I should have been able to do they still go between the hinge and the hood like originally cuz to me that looks a little odd
@@streetratgarage may I always just thought it was kind of odd placement for years I just used piece of angle iron and self tappers and never went that far back but I know that if we could go back in time and smack the engineer who designed that hood he is probably the most hated engineer in GM history lol
I'm surprised he put these out there because of liability. I'm not putting down the product. The hoods are designed to bend so in a front end crash the hood doesn't decapitate you. Thank you for your time.
I made my own out of 2 inch wide flat stock steel, measured how long they needed to be, drilled the screw holes at metal shop class on the drill press, and used the hand held plasma cutter make the slotted bolt hole. They have been great on my 78 c10.
Are you still thinking about possibly selling the green Buick? Or I'll trade you your Buick for mine? Mine needs far less work to finish & will most likely bring you a higher resell value...That is if you wouldn't want to keep a 66 BUICK 340,4bbrl V8 2dr hardtop muscle car? I'll check back every now & again to see if you respond in any way. THANX 4 your time & I enjoy your channel & content a great deal, keep up the good work & hats off!
I’m thinking about sell it. I really need to make some room. Not really looking for trades right now. I’m guessing in the next couple weeks things start going up for sale.
I am sure they would but as long as you keep your hinges oiled properly, it should not be a problem. The old ones that I took off had even bigger VGG cut into them, and they hold up just fine.

Derek would be proud to see you put that ramp truck on the road
i built similar ones 20 years back with flat bar stock on all my c10's, derek must have found my old trucks, lol
How much is this 10.00 kit we we're strapping these square body hoods in the early 80's
Derek is asking $60 apparently, for the same thing LMC still sells reasonably, $20... but the LMC won't say VGG on them. LOL!
ATF on hood hinges because transmission fluid doesn't freeze...wd 40 being water soluible does freeze in the winter..yep I've done that...

Dang good invention because I swear I saw a guy at an auction just bend the crap out of a hood on a truck like that. It was badddd. 😂
If a guy didn't care what it looked like, you could just get some 1/8 inch steel and drill some holes in it.
Or galvanized plumbers strap

Push these hoods in towards the windshield, then pull down.
salut!Street~ Love i,tyou did useful !;)
I remember when Derek got that truck. I watch both of you guys.
I think it's funny that he bought the product that was announced using that truck hey announced the product with the ones that are already on the truck cuz as soon as I clicked and realized what he had bought I'm like that truck already has them on it
The ones that came with the truck were prototypes. I switched them out with the superior 6000 line.

@@DadsTrucksBarn yes, they still go in between the hood hinge and the hood. Not sure how one could get around that part.

Good point
Thanks 👍 for the video guys..... JJ...😊

Im gonna get a set of those and put them on the outside of the hood and see if they still work.

Maybe etching the VGG instead of cutting all the way through would make the brace a little stronger.
I am sure they would but as long as you keep your hinges oiled properly, it should not be a problem. The old ones that I took off had even bigger VGG cut into them, and they hold up just fine.
@@streetratgarage it's a genius idea
Yeah and who wants the logo on it anyway
@@DonCrookwashere These have been around for 45 years now.
I see a giveaway with the old ones? LOL
