WELCOME!!!

They are called "Tilt Hood Kits" and they make them for all types of trucks.

The I think steve (ELpolacko) has something like what you want. And if he doesn't, he could probably make one or know who sells them.

I would think a rear opening hood would be a pan in da butt, but that's just me.

I have heard of guys using 80's Buick slides for hood hinges on the front. Not familiar enough with Buicks to know quite which ones have rear opening hoods tho.

One guy from Bozeman Montana made them. Can't remember his name tho and haven't heard from him for a few years. They seem like a dang good idea, considering that Slicks share the same characteristic flying up hoods as the Fat Fenders before them.

See tips and tricks to keep your hood from doing that until you get the reverse hinges figured out, and welcome to the club!!
