This steel hood is a direct replacement for 1973-1979 Ford F100, F150, F250, and Bronco trucks, stamped from OE-gauge steel on new tooling so the panel profile, hinge holes, and latch location match the original factory hood exactly. Rust and collision damage are the most common reasons an original F-series hood becomes unusable, and unlike a fiberglass replacement, this steel hood will not flex or warp with heat cycling over time, and it accepts factory hinges and a factory latch without modification.

Auto Metal Direct 300-4573 Features:

• Stamped from OE-gauge steel on new tooling to match the original factory panel profile
• Bolt-on installation using the factory hinge and latch locations - no cutting or drilling required
• Arrives EDP coated as a shipping and storage protectant, not a finish coat - correct priming and finishing is required before paint
• Covers the shared front-end sheet metal platform used across F100, F150, F250, and Bronco for these years

Special Note:

Before packaging by our team of professionals, each in-stock sheet metal panel sold and shipped by JEGS goes through a thorough inspection for flaws. It is common for sheet metal panels to have surface scratches, small dings, or other minor imperfections. These imperfections are not considered damage and should worked out through the bodywork phase with various levels of sanding and priming. The EDP coating on each panel is used as a protectant during shipping and storage and is not a finish coat. Correct priming and finishing procedures are required to protect the metal surface.
