Re: need hood latch pics

Trust me, they are not the same. I had the wrong one installed from a 71 and it did not work. This is the correct one for a 68. I will try and get you a picture tomorrow of the other one next to this one and let you know what the difference is.

Re: need hood latch pics

And I`ll add...

All 67/68s slant back real low just like the hoods.The 69/72s all step up first then slant back steeper,just like the hoods.The handles on GMCs are offset to the driver side.
