Direct Replacement Hood Hinge

The Fairchild F4083 is a new left-hand hood hinge manufactured for the 1978-1979 Ford Bronco. It fits the driver side position and carries the original equipment reference D3TZ16797A. This part restores factory hood alignment on these specific model years.

The hinge measures 18 x 18 x 10 inch and weighs 7 lbs, matching the original component dimensions. It bolts directly to the existing firewall and hood reinforcement using the stock hardware locations. No fabrication or modification is required during installation.
