Billet Hood Hinges for Trucks

CC | May 26, 2011

The company that introduced billet aluminum hood hinges to the muscle car industry has now included trucks in their lineup. The newest Ringbrothers Billet Hood Hinge Kit is for the very popular 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC Trucks.

Ringbrothers, the originators of the Billet Hood Hinge, already offer 24 different billet hinges for Chevy, Ford, Mopar and Pontiac cars from as early as 1955. Their USA made truck hinge kits are designed by Rinbrothers and machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and offers easy, direct replacement. Installing them is an easy bolt-in and requires no modifications. The smooth, fluid motion of the hinges will align a hood in the same position every time. The small, out of the way, gas cylinders used to balance the weight of the hood and its movement were designed by Ringbrothers and manufactured exclusively for them. Installation hardware and instructions are included in all hinge kits. They are available for fiberglass or steel hoods in the two styles with a choice of three finishes; machine finish, black anodized or grey anodized. As with the entire line of Ringbrothers hinges, the new 67-72 Chevy/GMC hood hinges are available in two styles, Solid or the popular Air Frame design that offers a lightweight, high tech look with milled holes and reliefs much like a structural airframe. The hinges are available for fiberglass or steel hoods with a choice of three finishes; machine finish, black anodized or grey anodized. Installation hardware and instructions are included in all hinge kits.

Mike and Jim Ring invented the first billet hood hinges in 2004 when building their award winning 1967 Mustang Fastback, Kona. Since then, their hinges have been copied but with far less than Ringbrothers’ high quality and ease of operation. With the addition of the new design, Ringbrothers Hood Hinge Kits are part of an impressive lineup of innovative billet parts including door handles, clutch reservoirs, hood pins, jamb vents and more. Not limiting themselves to billet, Ringbrothers also make and sell body panels such as hoods, deck lids, bumpers and more.
