Re: 67-68 cowl hoods
Look thru some of the pictures of trucks with them on many show the front lip of the hood up to 1/2 inch past the fender edge . measure your stock hood down the side and find the one closest to that measurement .side to side their not bad but always check it if you can .

Re: 67-68 cowl hoods
I would buy on locally so if its a bad fit it could be returned. The one I bought years ago went back in the box and got returned. it was too wide and the front edge was not flat. I have used the 1969 up and it fit fairly well.

Re: 67-68 cowl hoods
I have one and it's a piece of crap. If you go to the review section there is a thread on them. In fact one of the vendors refuses to carry them any more.

Re: 67-68 cowl hoods
Yup as an aftermarket parts supplier, cowl hoods are a hit n miss. You pretty much just take your chances but if you can buy local, do so. So if you have exchange it, your not having to worry about shipping charges and if it gets damaged en route, its not your worry

Re: 67-68 cowl hoods
Fit sux bad. I pie cut mine down both sides and flattened it out as best as I could and it still sticks up above the fenders.
