Does revel make a Chevy Silverado extra cab with cab kit with a cowl induction hood? If so please post a picture so I can screen shot it.

Sounds like maybe the Revell '99 Silverado..most recently reissued in 2023.  It's the only extended cab Silverado kit I know of (released in stock versions and modified versions).  It doesn't have a cowl hood, but I've seen resin ones on eBay.

Box art of the 2023 reissue:

I think he means the OBS. 

I don't have one but I can simulate it with parts I have.

 

The OP asked for Revell, so the '99 is the one..

Well, he also said cowl induction hood which that kit doesn't have. Wouldn't be the first time someone got the kit manufacturer wrong. But I guess we'll see when he replies. :D

Hmmm...the only one I can recall that came with a cowl hood is an obscure AMT custom dually snap kit that's never been reissued in the custom form...

Yes, that's the one I was talking about. That's where my hood came from.

Thanks for the replies.  I’m retry sure it was revel & not AMT. I’m thinking/praying it had a cowl hood.

Thanks & happy building to all of my build buddies!

This one may have a cowl induction hood - it's difficult to tell from the box art. I do have the kit but it's been stashed away for years and I don't remember. The hood is different than the stock one, so I'm not sure it will work with a stock truck grill.

I belive it is the same hood as the later reissue below which does have a "raised hood wit a reversed scoop, not a cowl hood per say since it ends before the end of the hood.

Here is the above hood IRL.
