I don't have one, but if you're interested I can explain how to build one yourself using your stock hood. I've been building them for about 10 years for friends. It costs me less than $20 in sheet metal and I usually get $250 - $400 (depending on how much bodywork they want me to do). If you take your time and can weld halfway decent, you can get a real nice steel (fuctional) cowl hood.

I worked at a GMC Truck dealership in the late 80's and it was a popular mod for the trucks we sold. I watched the guys in the bodyshop do it so many times I was able to figure out the parts I missed when I decided to do my own.

Anyway, if your interested just PM or Email me.

This might be good for a write-up in the body section too.
