2019 Truck Hood Pin Bracket 1/2in Steel

The FIVESTAR 2019 Truck Hood Pin Bracket 1/2in Steel is a precision-engineered fastening component designed for short-track and modified truck applications where hood retention and engine bay access are critical. Built from solid steel with a 0.5-inch outer diameter pin bore, this bracket provides the mechanical reliability needed in high-vibration racing and off-road environments where standard hood latches are insufficient or incompatible with custom body modifications.

At 38 inches in length and weighing 0.9 pounds, this bracket is sized for full-width hood applications typical of short-track trucks and fabricated race vehicles. The 1/2-inch bore diameter accommodates standard hood pin hardware found in most racing supply catalogs, ensuring compatibility with widely available locking pin assemblies and quick-release systems. Steel construction provides the durability required for repeated thermal cycling, vibration stress, and impact loading common in competition and heavy-duty service.

Short-track racers, fabricators building custom-chassis trucks, and off-road enthusiasts rely on hood pin brackets to secure aftermarket or heavily modified hoods that exceed the holding capacity of factory latches. This FIVESTAR bracket supports that need by providing a robust mounting point for paired hood pins that lock the hood firmly in place during acceleration, braking, and aggressive cornering. The extended 38-inch length spans most truck hood widths, making this a direct-fit solution for standard short-track builds without additional welding or modification.

FIVESTAR has established a strong reputation in the short-track racing market for manufacturing precision brackets and fastening hardware engineered to motorsports standards. This hood pin bracket reflects that heritage, offering racers and fabricators confidence in part durability and fitment accuracy.
