    Where are you? Location will be a factor since shipping a hood is tough and expensive. From the area code I supect you are somewhere is California.

    I believe a hood would have to be crated and shipped truck freight.

    By the way,'70 and '71 are a bit different then '72.They all fit,but if you have a '70 or '71,you want one for those 2 years.BrunoD.

    Thanks for the Heads up, you are correct I am looking for a 70 or 71 air cleaner. The little triangle on the left does make a difference versus the full square. Thanks again for your help.:cool:

    I have a '70 Hood that is very nice. I'm in MD and as noted above, shipping (truck freight & crating) might be cost prohibitive. Let me know if you're interested and I can get a quote. We have some pretty good freight discounts at work. E-mail me at dan@ricksontruck.com.

    Hello Dan, i sent you an email to the email address that you provided in your note, but have not heard from you. If there is an alternative method for contacting you, I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward that information to me, as I am interested still in finding both items that i am looking for. Thanks

    I have a couple hoods that are in fair condition, both need a little bodywork but are dry, rustfree hoods. I am in Idaho and might possibly be able to deliver one of them.

    Hello Mike,
    Do the hoods have the inserts and other parts? If so, if not, lets talk, but if not, I am still interested. Please give me a call at the number at the top of the listing, if you miss me for some reason, just leave me your number and I will call you back. Lets see if we can agree on a price and we can work on getting one to me. Thanks Samuel :)

    Mike Sobotka,
    you say you have two hoods. are you selling both? i'm interested in the other one and am also close to L.A.
    not to steal sobair1's thread but maybe it will be advantageous to all three of us if this works out. let's talk.

    How much would you like for the air cleaner? I will be in San Diego on business Wednesday and Thursday of this week so this could work out perfect if we can agree on a price. Please let me know ASAP so that we can try to make it work next week and I could pick it up from you. :TU: Thanks Samuel

    Ok guys. I now have the air cleaner, but I am still looking for a hood with ram air inserts if possible. None of the other responses above have worked out to this point. Any help with a hood would be greatly appreciated. Thanks:Comp:
