    Try these guys for the seals.. http://www.autokrafters.com/


    The inserts might be a little tough, try ebay or the parts wanted section on this board.

    :Welcome:

    I'm pretty sure '70 Grabbers just had standard flat hoods. Your hood is probably from a '71 or '72. The inserts shouldn't be super hard to find. From what I have seen, there are alot of them floating around out there salvaged from rusty Grabber hoods.

    Autokrafters are about $70 each but if they leak you will rust you rear quarters and the rear of the front fenders.It's worth doing first.
