68 hood on 71 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pocoloco71 · 11-23-2007, 12:00 AM

I know this has been discussed and I have been searching all over for it.
Please don't think I asked someone to find this for me without paying my
dues. I need help on the changes you would have to do if you wanted
to put a 1967 or 68 hood on a 1971. Love that slope. I think it's core
support, and fenders. But any way I am at that stage where I could
make the change. Anyway Brothers is haveing this big sale and if your gonna
get some fenders anyway.... Thanks for the help. poco.

It can be done as a hood mod or replacing the clip to the 67-68 style. Are you planning on changing the whole clip or just the hood?

I'm going to go to a cowl induction hood and I liked the slope of the 68
hood. As I understood you have to replace more than the hood. My inner
fenders are trash and the outers are not worth putting back on the truck
for the level I was going to take it to. So I'm going to do inner fenders, outer
fenders and core support for sure. Plus the 68 hood. So do I need
to get anything else. Thanks
