U.S. body source questions...

For some reason I am having serious problems with the U.S. body source website and I was wondering if someone could help me, They have a fiberglass hood that looks like it would fit my '73 ranchero, could someone check it out for me and tell me if it would fit/interchange ? If so what is the cost of it and the claimed weight of it? As of last week the Ranchero weighed in at....3,690 lbs. The glass hood would sure help. A fiberglass front bumper would be nice too....... just giving ya' a hard time dutch!

They list a 73 - 76 stock hood . Race weight means it's a pin on only unit . They don't list an actual weight for the hood , but I'm sure it's gotta be lighter than a stock steel unit .
Yeah , if only Kevin would get off his but and finish those fiberglass bumpers ....... LOL !

Yes, the Torino hood will work on your Ranchero...... they are identical. As for weight, although I've not seen one, based on my understanding of how they build their product, I'd say it should weigh in around 20-25 pounds. And like Dan said, US Body lists it as a "lightweight" pin-on only hood. No further comment.........

As far as givin' me a hard time? Think nothin' of it.... I need it bro'!! LOL!!
