Lawson, that's the way I thought the center hinge on the 35-36 Ford pu's worked....just like the cars of those same years. On the 35-36 pass cars there is a stainless steel strip that holds the center hinges together, with a hinge bracket located at each end of the SS strip which fastens the hood to the cowl on one end and to the top of the grille/radiator on the other end. On the pickup trucks the center strip is painted steel instead of stainless.
