70 -> 69 Cowl Swap

I have a 69 SWB Fleet and Friday 'saw a 70 Cheyenne cowl at a scrap yard for $35. I want to replace the poorly fitting chrome one presently on my truck.

Will the 70 cowl fit my 69?

Is $35 a reasonable price for it?

Thanks.

Re: 70 -> 69 Cowl Swap

the only issue might be if you have an antenna and the replacement doesn't. Which isn't much of an issue, but it is a little bit more if it's the other way around.
I mounted mine under the cowl.

Regarding the antenna hole, both my cowl and the one I want have the antenna hole. But I'm moving my antenna to the gas filler neck, so I won't need the hole. I'll weld in a plug and do a little bodywork before painting it either blue or white. No big deal overall.


Thx all. I'll go look at it more closely soon, and if it's in good shape will pick it up.
