Does anyone know what the slot in the underside frame of the front hood on the passengers side nearest the firewall is used for? Is that to hold the maintenance record???

from your desciption it sounds like a PO cut it to work out a dent in the hood. Never seen a slot in the frame work of the front truck

Sounds like someone sat on the lid, the supports beneath get bent down as the adhesive gets separated.

I have 3 hoods in my shop and they all have them. One from my 6 one from a 73 and one from a 74. I think my 76 has the same thing as well.

They all have it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
Early prototype design called for a fuel door in the hood. That idea was scraped for production but they didn't see the need to change the tooling for stamping the hood frame ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

With their first idea, a person would have been dribbling gas all over the hood. This way I get to dribble it all over the top of the gas tank........
