SMS Auto Restoration Services sells rebuilt hood hinges, as well as other parts.  You could contact them.

Here are the E body hinges

Hood hinges changed in 72 I believe, I had 2 different sets but the one with the gears is 70-71 and the ones with the half moon sliders are 72-74.  Be sure you have a good set of teeth on your 70-71 ones, otherwise your hood will close all awkward...very strange.

According to the SMS web site, the 70 hinge is different from the 71-72 ones, and they are different than the 73-74 ones.

Their site has some good pictures of them.
