Most guys make their own. Either by grafting a newer style top skin to the 400's hood, or by slicing & dicing the factory one to get that look.
There was a (former?) member on here that did his quite well by cutting & welding new metal in to get that HD look. The only one I've ever liked.
Most of the HD hood conversions make the truck look like it's got a big shnozzola. Not very proportional. My opinion, though.
There are no aftermarket HD hoods for 400's.

There's an OBS crew around my area with a NBS HD hood bulge grafted on. I think it looks like ****, but it's well put together. I'll try and get a picture of it next time I see it.
I have to agree, I've seen some online images of them and it doesn't seem to fit the looks of our trucks. But that's just my opinion, I'd honestly get a 2" or 4" cowl hood over an HD hood.

I recently found these. They're fiberglass though.
