A tip for installing the track. slide the front bracket in between the fender and the fender well. Then no trimming of the fender lip or track bracket.
I just got through doing it that way. And it worked great. Work a small screw driver in between the fender and the fender well. 👍 Thanks for the Great tip !!!
I noticed the two rod bracings from the firewall to the upper radiator support are missing. That alone can affect alignment of the hood to the fenders. I just received my tilt hood kit and this video will help my installation. Thank you
Jus bought the Same kit ...decent and guess we all have to go through the same thing..on installation issues I know I did ..lil Hassel but got her done lol
I too have been using Hard drive magnets for working and welding on my 1956 F100. I have the tilt kit from CPP and the six 1/4 inch bolts are for mounting to the front of the hood even though the holes are larger. nowhere in the instructions does it say to notch the fender lip for the track but I figured that's what has to be done. Enjoyed your video!
So how do you like it I thought about ordering but thinking about eddie motorsports billet hood hinges instead herd to many horror stories o. Thr told hood kits
I noticed you don't have a front bumper on the truck. I have one I'm not using if you're interested. I have no idea where you're located but I am in Southeast North Carolina.

Thanks for documenting this, God knows the instructions leave a lot to be desired.

How better than original ?
How do you open the hood?
It still uses the factory hood latch, just open like normal except you pull the hood forward instead of lifting up.
Any link fo the kits?

@@FadedPaintGarage thanks mate
www.classicperform.com/Store/1948_64_Ford_Truck/5356MMBP.htm this is the kit I bought
VERY CAREFULLY drill a small hole in the hood shocks and then they will work as a hood limiter
