Hood Hinges - What's the difference?

Post by daveleast »

I have some hood hinges on my 65 PW that were apparently damaged when the hood was over-extended backwards. I got another set off a donor truck that was a later model (69-70?) and they appear very similar, except there is an extra set of short springs attached to a metal tab on the set from the donor truck. Did they change the design or am I just missing the spring and metal tab?

2 different versions used from 61 to 71 and just dictate how far hood opens. Do not mix different styles. :salut

Ok, thanks! So don't mix left and right with different styles but sounds like I should be able to swap out the old set for the newer style right?
