Rockwell Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Would a CH613 SBA hood directly swap onto a 2011 CXU613? Could this be a direct bolt on replacement with Hinges, fender extensions, & breather intake lining up? For no other reason, I just don't like the look of the CXU broken beak, sloped hood/melted fenders and wonder if I can give my truck a nose lift. As an added bonus, I wouldn't miss the near non-existent CXU headlights either. I would imagine I would also have to swap out the bumper to follow the older hood line as the CH SBA looks more angular that the CXU. If anyone knows, do tell. Thanks!

880joe Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think the hood would fit but the bumper probably won't because I believe the frame is wider on the CXU than the CH so your tow hook holes won't be right.

Rockwell Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks for the reply 880, I was not aware the frame is wider on CXU, but I do recall reading that now that you mention it. Hopefully that will be correctable with a few steel brackets. Dunno what to do about tow hook holes. At the moment Im just exploring .

dcrow Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 With the wider frame hinges may not line up either. If its the right length and the wheels line up then hinges and tow hooks are fairly easy to custom make.

220cummins Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Different hinges, mounting, and dimensions. No, it won't fit without modification somewhere.

Dilly Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Did you ever change the hood!? I have a Mack vision and I’m not a fan of the hood either. I’d love to change it to a Ch hood!
