Rod that holds the hood up?
4th gen f-body hoods are held up with 2 gas struts. There is no prop rod. The struts that held up your old hood should work just fine.Tracy

yeah a rod was sent with the hood to be placed instead of the struts because the stock struts are to heavy. Is this wrong?http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2317021/1

You should already have two ball studs spot welded to your shock towers. All you will then need to do is find the hood mounted ball studs and attach them to the underside of the new hood. Then you can use the two hood struts like OEM.Comment
