I have a 63 Jtruck here that I'm storring for someone and that one has more bracing than any of the newer ones I've seen not sure if that helps this issue or not. If everything else is ok on that hood maybe try to work them back in place and find something to glue them with, I don't think welding is an option as it would dammage/distort the outter skin, which could be the reason they are not attached as you stated this one still looks fine from the outside, had they been attached solid it may have just pulled the outter skin with it when this happened.
