Re: Different hoods

I'm glad I could help with the info.
Your pal is pulling your strings on the info he's giving you. All 60 and 61 Chevy trucks had that hood from the factory. GM stopped using that hood in 62 because the 62-66 hoods were much cheaper and easier to stamp.
If you want to trade, don't trade for a hood that's in worse condition than the one on your truck. The 60-61 hoods are much harder to find in good condition as GM stopped producing them when they switched hoods. That's why you see so many 60-61 trucks with the 62-66 hoods.

Also, post up some pics of your ride!
