wilbur Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Will a newer CH SFA hood like a chu or chn fit a 2000 ch sfa.? They sure look the same. I see aftermarket headlights and bezels that fit 2000 to 2017. Does anyone know the difference in the hoods. I want to stay away from aftermarket fiberglass and stay with SMC stock hood.

storkmack Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Our experience is that the Jones hoods are quite superior. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63772-ch-hoods/#findComment-458698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtymilkman Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I cant remember the brand of hood I bought for my CH, it wasn't a Jones. It was what the Mack dealer got me. But it needed so much work before we were able to paint. Very disappointing. Next one will be Jones.

880joe Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I think the newer hoods are a couple of inches longer. However I did set an older CH hood on CHN just to keep engine covered up seemed to open and close ok but hard to tell about cab and hood gap because of flat cab air bags Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63772-ch-hoods/#findComment-459089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The CH hood is 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inches longer than the CHN.

41chevy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 yes center-line, I really don't know if it is like the early and late R model with the length difference on the entire windshield end. Probably wouldn't make any difference other than appearance.

A stock Mack cant be that much lighter, besides a Jones is 2K cheaper Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63772-ch-hoods/#findComment-459545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 You might check at Mack in Quincy IL I was there the other day and they had a new hood in crate and a hood from a Thompson truck out behind the shop Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63772-ch-hoods/#findComment-459566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
