Any of you boys know anyone willing to part out a hood for a reasonable price? It won't let me post in the classifieds to find one.

The hood you want is a coveted and hard to find item. It's going to take a bit more than posting in the classifieds on here.

Any recommendations on what I should do to find one? Sounds like you may have some experience.

Set your CL app to a radius that youre willing to drive for it (I did 150 miles), search for 'Silverado part", check it EVERY day, and be patient.

If your local yards have a way to check inventory online, do that too.

Craigslist, local yards, car-part.com, Facebook marketplace. Lots of patience. Remember these are over 15 years old at this point finding one, so finding one in good shape (no dents or rust) will be harder and harder. Since your truck is an 02, you might get really lucky and get one that is the right color (actually, the one I just got is dark gray).

If you are really desperate they do make aftermarket hoods, but they tend to be more expensive than the real thing (though they are new), and there have been reports of fitment issues.
