CVF Racing billet hood hinges replace the factory hood hinges on 1981 to 1987 Chevrolet C/K 10, 20 and 30 trucks. Each hinge body and arm is CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and a gas strut and sealed bearings are built into the assembly. CVF's patented 6-axis adjustment (U.S. Patent No. 11,002,047) is part of the hinge itself, so hood gaps can be set while the hood stays bolted in place.
This design tucks standard size gas struts inside the hinge assembly instead of relying on large springs, and the cam button adjustment can move hood height by nearly an inch up or down. The hinges bolt to the factory locations under the cowl, keep the hood opening at the OEM angle, and need no drilling, templates or fender modification. This listing is offered in a polished aluminum finish or a C3 Ceramic Clear Coat finish, selected as an option. The hinges are sold as a pair and offered in Steel Hood and Fiberglass Hood versions, and CVF backs them with a limited lifetime warranty.
