Hood latch question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 04-12-2003, 10:09 PM

Recently picked up a 68 and have a problem releasing the hood. When I looked at the latch assembly I noticed that the bar that you push up to release the hood hits against the upper grille preventing it from moving up far enough to fully release the hood.

I removed the assembly and was gonna replace it with one I took off a 69 but noticed that were the same. Is the 68 hood release assembly different than 69 and up?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
