Thanks Tom.
I do like the '28-'29 but I'm just too tall to fit - I tried - and a p/u - impossible.
Adding a filler strip is going to be dicey - that existing, oem style/length hood has a compound curve and a filler strip or extension to the rad shell just wont fit easily - you've changed(lessened) the angle from the firewall to the radiator shell. Rootleib will make a custom fit hood - but of course, that's more money. I've found the hard way that one simple, reasonable change begets several others that just keep adding up. Something like my battery move - that ~$100 battery needs a new box, some more 1/0ga cable and several other wires that need to be moved or replaced. Then I'll have an aging but still good Optima battery and bracket left over, etc, etc, etc
