V8 hood hinge and wheels

[Chrisverling]

Hello there

I am in the final steps of restoring my 1936 pick-up truck from Argentina. However, nowhere can I find steel rims (wheels) or the hinge that closes the motor hood. Does anybody know where to look ?

Very grateful for any tips

Are you looking for part # 46-8220 A, the brackets that the center hinge of the hood clips into? If so, that part is available at most Ford reproduction vendors. If it is the hood hinge, part # 67-16736, that is also available at most Ford reproduction vendors.
As for wheels -- the wide 5 -- those are frequently on ebay.

Thanks for the thumbs up. The wheels from France would be great as I am in Switzerland. Any contact with a vendor would be greatly appreciated.

The hood hinge I am looking for is the handle part on the low emd of the hood, the lever where it hooks into the body.

Many tanks for tips.
