To use the later hood you just need to use the latch designed for that hood. The early latch has the hood release handle pointing down, accessed in the gap between the hood and the grille support. The later design has the release handle pointing toward the driver side and is accessible through the rectangular hole in the front. All the 60-66 Chevy and GMC grilles will interchange by drilling the required mounting holes.
