Hood differences
Does anyone know If there any real differences between the hoods for 73/77 chevelles? Reason I ask is I just got a hood from a 73 el camino and the underhood bracing is different (a lot beefier over the air cleaner) than what I currently have on my 74 base chevelle. I'm mostly concerened with it fitting properly I don't know if it's because it's first year (before they cost cut it?) or because it's from a el camino. Any thoughts would be apperciated.

Re: Hood differences
Noses interchange and so does the hood. Minor differences are in the bumper area (the way they mount). But they all interchange.

Yeah, it's a good thing that front end parts interchange. My '75 Elco project has 'Malibu fenders & hood, and a '77 grille. One door is a '77, and the other is a '75 . And the interior is all '77. Front suspension is '77. "parts is parts"

Re: Hood differences
yeah i know, my 74 has 76 doors (from 2 different cars) a core support from a 73 chevelle, a cross member and front sway bar from a 73 Monte Carlo. The interior is 76/77 cutlass. The 1/4 panels were new reproduction, and now i have a 73 elcamino hood.pila wrote:Yeah, it's a good thing that front end parts interchange.
