The piece on the wind deflected just above the radiator, where the latch attaches when close is adjustable. Loosen the 2 bolts and slide the bracket with the roller roller up or down.

Re: 47 ford pickup
If you take off the wind deflector you'll see that there is a serrated bracket holding on the piece with the wheel. If it's not moving, it's stuck. The piece that the wheel is attached to, definitely moves. I installed the hood on my 47 P/u about 2 weeks ago.

Mine (on my '42) is missing, not real sure yet (due to what looks to be added onto make something work) what is correct. |
