Billet Hood Hinges - 88-98 GMC Chevy OBS Truck
Common questions
Do I have to modify the hood or inner fenders?
No. The hinge bodies bolt into the factory hinge locations, and the six-axis adjustment is built into the hinge itself, so hood gaps can be set without pulling the hood off the truck.
Do they hold the hood up on their own?
Yes. Gas struts are part of the hinge assembly, so the hood stays up without a prop rod, and the pivots run on sealed bearings.
How long is the lead time?
Around 7-10 days on the standard finish. Ceramic clear coat, Stealth Black and Black Diamond are finished to order and can run 4-6 weeks.
Is there a warranty?
The hinges carry CVF's limited lifetime warranty. Keep your invoice - it is what a claim is processed against.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1988–1998 Chevy and GMC Blazer, C1500, C2500, C3500, Jimmy, K1500 and others. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to return it by mail. Return shipping is on you, and the part needs to come back uninstalled and unmodified - once a panel has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Made-to-order items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
