Is this really the original hood?

Saw this 1984 C20 in an ad, lister says it's "original two-tone paint" but I don't remember ever seeing a hood that didn't match the top of the side panels… but it does also seem to match the top/back of cab and the lower panel color… was there ever a two-tone option like this?

I only knew this options shown in this post: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...87&postcount=6

I was sure at first this was a replacement hood, but the more I looked the less sure I was, so I thought I'd check with the pros…

Re: Is this really the original hood?

Thanks Bandit130!

Here's one example of a special edition from '78 with a non-matching hood, but that's the only thing like this I've found so far…

Re: Is this really the original hood?

Not from the factory that way.

The hood and cowl panel are the primary body color in all of the two tones in your attachment.

Re: Is this really the original hood?

Could it originally have had the sport stripes that were removed? It seems like I've seen those with a secondary color on the hood.

Re: Is this really the original hood?

When you open the hood look @ the reinforcement on the aftermarket hoods you see that the reinforcement is much thinner then factory (and lighter)
