I'm looking through my OPGI catalog and noticed that the 69 SS hood uses the same grilles as the '68. I didn't see a '68 SS hood.

(1) Where can I find a '68 SS hood, or
(2) Can I fit a '69 SS hood into the '68?

I tried using the search feature, with no hits.

The 68 and 69 hoods are the same, however, there is one catch. In 1969 Chevy redesigned the hood hinges and moved the mounting bolts to the hood itself. That is why you do not see a 68 listed, but see a 69 that can be used on a 68 with 69 hinges.

I hoped this helped and I have a 68
