Re: Different hoods

Booth,

Also be mindful that the hood latch style changed in the later years.

The 60-61 style hoods use a latch with the release handle pointing down, accessed in the gap between the hood and the grille support.

The 62-66 style latch release handle points toward the driver side of the truck and is accessed in the rectangular hole in the front of the hood.

The latch panel that bolts to the grille support is the same for 60-66 with either style hood.
