What is this part called?
While at a recent show, I took pics of a nice '29 RPU that was 'restored'. Where the hood latches are located there is a sort of 'cover' over the frame section that runs all the way to the front where the radiator apron mounts. I have never noticed this before nor have I seen it in the catalogs. I thought the latches mounted directly on top of the fender where it mounts to the frame.
What is this called? Is it original to the car, or a piece to 'dress it up' so to speak? |

Re: What is this part called?
Actually what you circled is a the "foot" part of a 28/29 hood latch. Hood latches are normally an assembly that encompasses the foot, barrel, spring, handle and a couple small internal parts. The long black part is a hood shelf. There are two kinds of hood shelves - one for a 28/early 29 and one of later 29's.

Hood shelves only used on ‘28-‘29, (and maybe early ‘30 trucks.)
‘30-‘31 do not have hood shelves. W. Michael Last edited by w.michael; 09-20-2021 at 04:05 PM. Reason: Correct ambiguity |
