The hinges on the Sweptline look identical to the hinges on my 60 Power Giant W300. With that said, referencing my shop manual;

1960 Dodge Truck Manual P Series
Group 23
Body and Sheet Metal
Page 10

"Adjust front hood bumpers so that when hood-lock is latched, rubber bumpers will be raised sufficiently to avoid hood rattle and allow for uniform flush fit with fenders. Initial placement of hinges should be as high as possible, then adjust for rear closure. Fore and aft movement of the hood is accomplished at the hinge to hood attaching bolts. Adjustment of the rear of the hood is accomplished by raising of the hinges to pull down hood or lowering of hinges to raise hood"

I know this sounds reversed, but when you look at the action of the hinges on closing, it makes sense.
