Yes, there is a nub on the hood and a nub on a bracket on tge firewall

No pic tho

And for some reason i feel likevthe pickups didn’t have it

For some reason there is no bracket on the firewall neat the engine ground on pickups....iirc

just the gas cylinder as far as I know, I think mine was shot when I bought the truck as well, you will see the little ball to connect it to under the hood if so

So there’s no springs on the hinges like on the NBS?

YES

Aha, thought there must be springs. It’s weird though, gm parts show brackets for the strut on the pickups but no strut. Anyway, it won’t help for my truck since there’s no room for the springs and that strut has no chance without them.

Any room for two struts- one on each side?

I used struts from an F-body with mounts from a 2000ish Buick Century to lift and support the hood on my S10. I'd pop it then pick it up about 7" and the struts would lift it the rest of the way with strength to spare. I don't know how much heavier, if any, your hood would be than an F-body. But maybe you could use two GMT900 struts?

Well there is a small helper spring on each side about the size of a medium lolipop

mine is still fine but it is the Light weight aluminum hood..

but it's light enough to flap around in the winds sometime I think it might bird box challenge while driving

My corrosion warranty is scheduled to expire next month. The frame is pretty rusty from the trucking living most of its life in Wisconsin. I wondering with that warranty will they clean that rust up.

Nope. Tubs come up so high they’re about 1/4” from the bottom of the hood. Only place would be in the center of the hood. I’m ok with my prop rod.
