Hood lift handle

[JimC]

Anybody know where I can obtain one?

I've only seen a few, but every one I've seen was made in the field (including mine).

None of my manuals list a hood handle so it must be a field modification.

The one on my 37 looks factory, but may have been just very well done. It was on the truck when I got it in 1962. My 708 and two parts trucks don't have one.

Jim,
Click on the link and open his photo tab on the left column. There is a picture of his truck as he found it with a handle on the hood.

Thanks.
His handle is similar but not identical to the one on my 37.
For the sake of consistency between the two, I think I'll just duplicate my 37.
I appreciate the help.

Since these were generally improvised field modifications, it's not surprising that they don't look exactly the same
