It would be a crime against all '57s.

Re: 57 Hood on 56?
Yes, the 57 hood will fit on a 55 or 56. That is the way my truck came. Someone really cobbled up my truck. 57 hood on a 55, longbed frame cut off for a shortbed truck,.....
I am getting ready to buy a new 55 hood, so the 57 hood will be up for sale. I am with highsider, it is a crime to put the wrong hood on the truck, either way. |

Re: 57 Hood on 56?
... I actually like the combo of the '55-'56 egg crate grill and the '57 hood

Re: 57 Hood on 56?
I salvaged the only decent piece of sheet metal - the hood - off of a beat up '57. I'm going to put it on my '55 with the '55 grill, I like that combo, too.

Re: 57 Hood on 56?
In the early 70's the first thing a guy who was starting to fix up a 57 did was put a 55 or 56 hood on it and quite often the eggcrate grill to go with it.

Re: 57 Hood on 56?
my truck is a '57 with a '56 grill. No hood lines because its a custom tilt nose
