I could see how the front of the hood was lower and had less bulk, but it
still looks like to me that the rings are welded into the body and
basically deleted, and yes, it does look like the headlights were frenched
like an AD truck would be.
I guess I will have to try my hood without the brace. I mean, this is a
weekend show truck, and not an everyday driver, so it's not goign to be
bouncing down any dirt roads or anything, lol.
