No difference from 81-87. The 73-80 hood includes the cowl & is shaped differently in the front.

73-80 didn't have the vented cowl below the windshield. The hood went all the way to the windshield. The front edge of the hood is different too, where it meets the fenders.

That's okay Mike, even on the easy stuff it's nice to have your confirmation of the info.

81-91 will actually work if you include the Suburban, Blazer and Jimmy's.
