We've been building hood strut kits for the 70 series trucks for a while....decided to branch out into the 60 series as we had one in the shop for a few months. Some of the parts crossed over which was great.

We're offering a hood strut kit to get rid of the prop rod and the OEM helper springs. Nice way to declutter the engine bay and it's really nice not having to work around a prop rod.

Kits are complete with everything needed for install....no new holes need to be drilled, a fully bolt on kit. JIS zinc plated hardware, 150# gas struts and powdercoated brackets. Really nice setup...

I DM'd him last night, waiting to hear back. I meant to jump on these a couple years ago, but lots of little projects like this got put on the way back burner.

I was having to work around the OEM spring hinges yesterday...those damn things were totally in the way.

dude you can diy this whole thing for like $20. just use some rivnuts in your hood and use one of the bolt holes for the hinge spring. the gas struts are CHEAP on amazon
