Will a 70 Flat Chally hood fit a 73?
« on: September 30, 2006 - 07:33:59 PM »
Would this just be an easy bolt on swap?

Only difference I'm aware of is the front chrome strip on the 70 vs the painted version on the 73 and the remote hood release hardware.

Everything else the same?

Thanks.

Yes it will as far as I know.  All the hoods interchanged.   :thumbsup:

hood latches will be different & they will swap from later hoods , if you close the hood with the 70 latch you may have difficulty opening iti again

Thanks for the tip, Chryco.

That could have been a PITA to discover on my own!
