Frequently Asked Questions About International 9300/9370 Hoods & Related

Will this hood fit my specific International 9300 or 9370 model year?

International produced the 9300 and 9370 series over several model years, and hood design details such as mounting points, headlight cutouts, and grille openings can vary slightly between production runs. Before ordering, check the fitment notes listed on each product page and compare them to your VIN-specific configuration. If you are unsure, our sales team can help confirm compatibility using your truck's VIN or existing hood measurements.

Is this a full hood assembly or just a hood shell?

Listings in this category may include complete hood assemblies, bare hood shells, or individual hood components such as brackets, hinges, latches, and trim pieces. Always read the product title and description carefully to confirm exactly what is included, since some parts are sold separately and may need to be transferred from your old hood or purchased individually.

What material is the hood made from, and does it come painted?

Most replacement hoods for the 9300/9370 are made from fiberglass, which is standard for this truck series and offers a good balance of durability and repairability. Hoods are typically sold unpainted in a gel-coat or primed finish, allowing you to paint them to match your truck. Product descriptions will specify the exact finish so you know what to expect before it arrives.

Can I install this hood myself, or should I have a shop do it?

Swapping a hood on a 9300/9370 is a job many experienced DIY mechanics take on, since it mainly involves disconnecting hinges, latches, and any attached components like headlight wiring or air lines before transferring them to the new hood. However, aligning the hood properly and reconnecting all hardware takes some mechanical know-how and an extra set of hands, so if you are not comfortable with this type of bodywork, having a professional shop handle the installation is a safer bet.

Are these hoods and hood parts OEM or aftermarket?

This category includes a mix of OEM and aftermarket hood parts, and each product listing will note which type you are looking at. Aftermarket hoods and components are generally built to match OEM dimensions and mounting patterns, but if exact factory fit and finish matter for your application, look for listings specifically labeled as OEM or contact us to verify before purchasing.
