Goosie_the_xiii Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hey everyone, I am in search of a hood for a 77 620. I have looked all over for a replacement hood and have had no luck. Anyone know of any aftermarket hoods or anyone selling a hood? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 All '73-'79 hoods are the same. No one makes them as there is no market. Try a want ad to see if anyone has a spare... https://ratsun.net/classifieds/category/9-datsun-parts/ ... Maybe Thailand? 1 Quote Link to comment

Pretty sure it is chinese, and fitment may be a pain, just like my chinese fenders were. Got it off eBay. There is these guys making fiberglass 620 hoods: FRP 620 hoods Halfway down the page $240 , p/n DA-105. and has steel inserts to bolt the hinges to. 1 Quote Link to comment

G-Duax Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I paid just over half of that, but that was 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment

I called that site and it would have cost about $600 for the hood after everything. Quote Link to comment

What becomes the problem with such a big item is the size of the item. What I can do is get the info like weight, measurements, then check Fedex shipping site and then call Greyhound bus in Spokane for a rate, week days only. I drop it off at a gas station in my area which takes about an hour cause I'm not a priority customer. Gas and food customers are. Fedex will be expensive and bus takes a lot longer to get it plus theirs no tracking number but it's the cheapest way to ship if your not in a big hurry. . I'll be over by their place today to get the ball a rolling. Is your zip - 32825 ? Quote Link to comment
