SinCityTowingandTransport Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I have a 16 cxu 613 that’s got some damage on the hood from a steer tire blowout and I got to thinking that a anthem hood might just fit and give the old dog a facelift. Anybody know if it might fit? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67804-anthem-hood-on-a-cxu613/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Sounds like a plan, I'm guessing its gotta be close to fitting, same shape cab and all Take some measurements and see what happens I guess Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67804-anthem-hood-on-a-cxu613/#findComment-478787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaican Bulldog Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I guess the front axle would also have to line up with the wheel wells Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67804-anthem-hood-on-a-cxu613/#findComment-478795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I like the grill of the Anthem. I just wish they would have kept the tasteful looking air intakes of the Pinnacle instead of those hideous screen doors they stole off someone's house that are on the Anthem hoods.

gicknordon Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The hood mounts completely differently. They have a torsion spring set up and bolt to brackets on the sides of the rails. Not sure how hard it is to retrofit the brackets though. The bumper also mounts from this hood bracket. Would also need the anthem quarter fenders and find a way to mount the latch bars to cab since the anthem hood uses a single release at the front with bear claw style latches at the fenders.

james j neiweem Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Not directly related to this subject but sort of. I saw on facebook that the new pinnacle bow tie hood will fit on older ch and chu trucks.

mrsmackpaul Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Do you have a link to were you saw this or the facebook page ??? Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67804-anthem-hood-on-a-cxu613/#findComment-479355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
880joe Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Did they change the hood on the Pinnacle or just the grill? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67804-anthem-hood-on-a-cxu613/#findComment-479363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Mackpaul: The thread that I saw this on was in facebook. It was in a thread by Pat Hanson from Brannif Trucking. It was under a private Mack truck group. Pat is the guy with the 2 white pinnacles (one a new Mack bowtie Pinnacle) for Brannif Trucking. He may be out of Canada. I guess 880joe you are probably right maybe just the grill would be replaced. Would make sense. I would guess there are other after market grill replacements for the CH's Edited September 5, 2021 by james j neiweem 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/67804-anthem-hood-on-a-cxu613/#findComment-479434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
