Restore smooth and reliable hood operation with this 1977–87 Chevy and GMC Square Body Truck Hood Latch Cable. Designed to match the factory original, this replacement cable connects the interior hood release handle under the dash to the primary latch on the radiator support, allowing you to easily pop your hood from inside the cab.
The cable routes through the firewall grommet and securely attaches to the hood latch mechanism at the radiator support. Once pulled, it releases the primary latch so the secondary safety catch can be opened by hand, just like the original GM setup.
Made to OEM specifications, this cable features durable sheathing and a precision fitted inner wire for smooth movement and long-term reliability. It’s the ideal fix for stretched, frayed, or broken hood release cables that prevent your latch from working properly.
