Replacement chrome is easy for the 1/2 ton guys, but I've heard the hood on the big bolts is different from the 1/2 ton's. So my question is, will the 1/2 ton truck hood chrome work on my 2 ton, or do I need to go on a crazy hunt for a 2 ton specific chrome strip?

The 1/2-1 ton strip would not work on a 2-ton (or COE) hood.
