Hoods - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Will a 67-68 hood fit on a 69-72 front clip? I like the 67-68 hood better than the 69-72 but I like the 71-72 grilles better than teh 67-68.

Thanks

Sorry, they don't interchange.

it's not that they won't fit. b/c they will. the problem lays in the fact that the grill on the 69-72 is too tall and wil not let the hood close.

now a 69-72 will fit on the 67-68 but there is a gap where the hood meets the grill and the fender lines and the hood lines won't match up.

sorry to give you the bad news.

um, you better get that truck and ask all the stupid questions you want. Only stupid questions i've ever heard of are those that aren't asked.

give us some pics and welcome from God's country, Arkansas.
