Coenut Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I am currently doing some reassembly on an 1980 r700. The cab was toast so I bought a donor cab 1985. Gutted it and put it back to a tan interior 79. Cab doesn't appear to be tweeked. The hood latch support brackets are not even close to fitting correctly. They are off the r7 cab. The passenger side bracket is too long and the holes for the hood latch do not come close. The driver side is close but way to low. Brackets are not bent or tweeked everything is straight. Any ideas.

Coenut Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 The hood is the same as the second photo. The hood guides are not the issue its the brackets that they bolt to that are way off. I cannot figure out what is wrong. The brackets that came on the donor cab where tight to the cowl. can't find those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coenut Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 I will bolt the brackets up tomorrow and post some pictures. Thank you for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
