Hey guys can anyone tell me for sure if the center hinge "rod" is the same as the side hinges "rods" ?
Thanks

NO; the side hinges are each 1/4" separate rods. The center hinge is part of one side of the hood. It's a pain, cause only one side at a time should be raised to service the engine. Only 33/34 commercial. An aftermarket hood is like a '32 center hinge I'm told. I install the side rods with a drill -slowly spinning them as pushed in place. Newc
