International 9300/9370 Hood Replacement Parts

Frequently Asked Questions About International 9300/9370 Hood Replacement Parts

Will these hood parts fit both the 9300 and 9370 models?

Most parts in this category are designed to fit the International 9300 and 9370 hood assemblies, but there can be differences based on year, hood style, and trim level. Always check the fitment notes on each product page and compare against your truck's VIN or existing hood configuration before ordering to ensure a proper match.

Are these replacement hood parts made of fiberglass or another material?

Many International 9300/9370 hood components are manufactured from fiberglass, which matches the factory construction of these hoods. Fiberglass parts offer good durability and are easier to repair with standard body filler if minor damage occurs down the road. Some smaller components, such as brackets, latches, or trim pieces, may be made of metal or plastic depending on their function.

Do these parts come pre-painted or will I need to paint them myself?

Most hood panels and larger body parts are sold unpainted, or in gel-coat/primer finish, so they can be color-matched to your specific truck. This gives you flexibility to have the part painted by a professional shop for a seamless finish. Smaller hardware components are typically finished and ready to install as-is.

What tools or help do I need to install a replacement hood panel or component?

Installation requirements vary by part. Full hood panels are large and heavy, so we recommend having at least one other person to help with lifting and alignment, along with basic hand tools for removing hardware and hinges. Smaller components like latches, hinges, or brackets can often be swapped with common hand tools. If you are unsure about the process, a truck body shop can ensure proper fit and alignment.

How do I know if I need a full hood replacement or just a repair part?

If the damage is isolated to a specific area, such as a cracked corner, broken latch, or damaged hinge, you may only need that individual component rather than a full hood assembly. Inspect the extent of the damage and check whether the hood still aligns and closes properly. For extensive cracking, major impact damage, or structural issues, a full replacement hood is usually the more reliable long-term solution.
