Identify hood

[M. Moody]

Can anyone tell me what this hood came off of? The rest of the vehicle/truck too destroyed to get any info. Location is the desert at an old mine dump with not easy road access so it must have been something substantial. Thanks

from those side scoups im going to take a shot here and say this is a rear hood off some kind of forklift or loader from the 40"s or "50"s,

I'm going to agree with ericlb. I have never seen a hood even similar to that on a truck or car, or even a tractor. Fork lift or loader sounds logical, especially considering where you found it.

The hood looks to be modified. The base looks to be a 1950-1952 International L series. you can see where the hood ornament used to be. The scoops looks like they were added later.
