holy crap!!!i better get a picture,i thought they were all the same,,i bought an 84 full size pick-up years back and the hood came with it so i`am thinking it`s the 81-87..thanks for the input men..
i know, I have a 81 GMC grill for sale and get asked all the time if it will fit a 73 or 78 and so on. I just tell them it came off a 81 and they can figure out the rest. LOL j/k
That's an 81-87 hood.. The '80 and earlier hoods are different but all swap 73-80..
Back before chinese parts were available, the new for '81 sheet metal was simply gold in the bodyshop world!. We were fixing everything then also I remember scoring a few new DIT hoods and fenders that were supposed to've been destroyed..
On the 73-80 hoods, the front crease wasn't included on any factory 77's and any you see on a '77 truck would be swapped or aftermarket pieces.. Late '78 production would be the earliest you'd see the crease as it showed up after the big headlite doors that encompassed the lower signal lamps came out during mid 78 production..
